The Hits Album 10 or Hits 10 is the tenth release of the Hits compilation series, compiled by BMG, CBS and WEA. It was released in the UK on 22 May 1989. With this release, the compilers returned to the tradition of a volume issue number and the revival of artwork used from Hits 6 to Hits 8, with the issue number forming a central graphic against a black background. It was a successful album and reached number one on the UK Compilation Album chart for six consecutive weeks and achieved a Platinum sales award.
This would be the last release in the Hits series, for the time being, to follow the chronological volume number which had been in place from its launch in 1984. From now on, there would be several rebrands and relaunches of the Hits series, including the return to sequential numbering, picking it back up at Hits 50 twelve years later, around the same time as Now 50 in 2001.
Hits 10 features one song which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart: "Eternal Flame".
A 16-track video compilation, titled The Hits 10 Video Selection was also released on VHS by CBS Music Video.[1] All tracks on the video are featured on the album.
