Hits 93 Volume 3 is a compilation album was released on 16 August 1993 and was released by Telstar Records in association with BMG. The CD and cassette releases were subtitled "22 Hot Summer Hits". The LP vinyl format featured 20 tracks.
The album was the third volume of four released in 1993 collecting the biggest hits of the year, much like the original The Hits Album collections which were originally issued between 1984 and 1991. BMG became involved in the series from 1986 onwards.
Due to the compilers having full access to BMG material, hits by artists such as Take That, M People, Snap! and Lisa Stansfield appeared on this collection instead of the rival Now That's What I Call Music 25 which featured material licensed from EMI, Virgin and Polygram. However, there were some tracks which featured on both compilations, such as Kim Wilde, 4 Non Blondes and Inner Circle.
The compilation reached No. 2 in the UK Top 20 Compilation chart (behind Now 25) and earned a Gold BPI Award for units of over 400,000.
