In the early '80s, Collins took a break from the helm of Genesis to inaugurate a solo career that abandoned his group's art-rock agenda for a mainstream pop approach. In the ensuing years, the king of Nice Guy Pop established himself as one of the world's premier top 40 balladeers, as evidenced by the wall-to-wall hits that make up the balance of this appropriately titled collection. HITS walks the listener through the smooth, well-produced Collins hits that have worked their way into the collective consciousness of radio listeners (even casual ones) over the years. There are majestic power ballads ("I Wish It Would Rain") to light-hearted, infectious pop-funk ("Sussudio") and moody atmospheric pieces ("In the Air Tonight") HITS represents the full range of material this prolific performer has turned out over the course of his wildly successful career. |

Artist Overview
Phil Collins's frontman talents lay dormant for many years when he was the drummer for prog-rockers Genesis, taking a back seat to Peter Gabriel. When Gabriel quit in 1975, Collins stepped out from behind the drums and made Genesis a hit-making machine throughout the 1980s. Collins also launched a successful solo career as a pop singer, which he kept going in conjunction with Genesis until he became a full-time solo artist in 1996 (though he and Gabriel returned for a 1999 Genesis reunion). As a solo artist, Collins released highly personal and introspective work (not always as commercially viable), wrote a hit soundtrack song for Disney's TARZAN, jammed with Paul McCartney and Ozzy Osbourne, formed a big band to perform jazz versions of his many hits, and played drums for Queen Elizabeth II's "house" band at Buckingham Palace.
