"The Hits" is the first US greatest hits album from country singer Faith Hill. It was originally supposed to be released on May 8, 2007, but was pushed back several times until it was finally released on October 2, 2007.

Hill initially planned to re-record her prior hits for the album: cquote|It’s been difficult selecting the songs for "The Hits". But when we decided to focus on what you’d want, the decisions became much clearer. We’re planning on newer, different versions of some songs and we’ve got a few new surprises on "The Hits". Leave it to me, I would’ve made a whole album of surprises, but then it wouldn’t have been "The Hits" and it wouldn’t be coming out on October 2nd. [http://www.faithhill.com/pop.php?content=splash_news&news=184556 "The Hits" To Be Released October 2nd!] ] | Ultimately, the only tracks that were not the same as the original album versions were the live version of "Stronger" (an album track from "Cry" that was never released as a single) and the single remixes of "Breathe", "The Way You Love Me", and "This Kiss". The album contains all eight of her solo No. 1 Country singles in addition to two songs, "Cry" (No. 12 Country) and "There You'll Be" (No. 11 Country), which topped the AC chart. ("Breathe" topped both the Country and AC charts.)

The first single, "Lost" was released in May, 2007. The song did not perform well on the Country charts peaking only at #32.

Faith debuted the second and final new track from the album, "Red Umbrella", on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on September 5. The song was released to Country radio on September 13. [ [http://www.faithhill.com/pop.php?content=splash_news&news=183561 Faith Debuts New Single on Ellen] ] "Red Umbrella" hardly performed any better than on the charts, only peaking at #28. The album also features her Grammy nominated duet with Tim McGraw "I Need You".

The album debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Country Albums charts selling 69,368 copies in its first week. This became her lowest debuting album on the Billboard 200 since 1995's "It Matters to Me". A special edition of the CD was also released with a companion DVD featuring videos of some of Hill's singles.

To date, the album has sold about 271,000 copies in the US. [ [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003816823 Faith Hill preps first Christmas album] ]
