The Hits is the second compilation album and first greatest hits album from American country music artist Garth Brooks. It was released on December 13, 1994 and was quickly deleted at Brooks' request. He insisted it only be available for a limited time, but not before it sold well over ten million copies. The Hits debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and Top Country Albums. In June of 1995, the master was buried under Garth’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
