Hitz Blitz is a compilation album released in August 1995. It is part of the Hits compilation series which began in 1984.[1]

Hitz Blitz is a single CD compilation from BMG, released under their compilations arm Global Television. BMG were one of the partners of the original Hits series, and carried on the series after CBS Records and WEA retired from the brand.

The album went to number 2 in the UK Compilations Chart, but the success of the series saw Global Television revive the Hits series full-time with the release of Hits 96 at the end of 1995, with Sony Music and Warner Music rejoining the series soon afterwards.

Number ones included: Take That - "Never Forget" and Robson & Jerome - "Unchained Melody"
