Various Artists - The Hits Album: The Debut Hits Collection Various Artists

Another SME/UMG collaboration - Every brilliant Pop career has to start somewhere, whether it’s a long road to the top or waking up to find you’re an overnight sensation, leaving the safety of an established group to forge a solo career, or growing up in public, under the glare of lights and cameras on a reality TV show. But any successful run of hits begins with a great performer and a great song, and we are delighted to bring you 63 unforgettable “first steps” on The Debut Hits Collection. Some particularly lucky (and talented) artists top the chart on their first visit, and here you’ll find fantastic songs that achieved that feat for Rod Stewart (‘Maggie May’), Culture Club (‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me’), Frankie Goes To Hollywood (‘Relax’), Soft Cell (‘Tainted Love’), Britney Spears (‘...Baby One More Time’), Gabrielle (‘Dreams’), Westlife (‘Swear It Again’), Sandie Shaw (‘(There’s) Always Something There To Remind Me’), and The Righteous Brothers (‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’). If it’s a familiar face in a different setting that you’re after, then we’ve got the first solo hits for Michael Jackson away from the Jackson 5, Alison Moyet after Yazoo (‘Love Resurrection’), Nick Heyward without Haircut 100 (‘Whistle Down The Wind’), and Robbie Williams post Take That (‘Freedom’). The Debut Hits Collection is a 3CD set covering seven decades of chart action, songs that sound as fresh and exciting today as the first time you heard them. A x63 trk, x3 CD collection
