''The Hits & Beyond'' is a compilation album by Australian singer-songwriter Dannii Minogue. It released by All Around the World Records on 16 June 2006 in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 19 June 2006. The album was then released by Central Station Records in New Zealand on 4 August 2006 and Australia on 7 August 2006. The compilation is Minogue’s first release with All Around the World Records and second greatest hits album; the first being the 1998 Australian-only budget release, "The Singles". ''The Hits & Beyond'' consists of fifteen previously released singles making up the ‘hits’ and five new tracks representing the ‘beyond’. Upon its release, the album received mixed views with many criticizing the absence of some of Minogue’s earlier work. The compilation received moderate success in the UK where it charted at number 17. The album’s release was preceded by the single’s "You Won't Forget About Me", "Perfection" and its lead single, "So Under Pressure". == Background and composition == Minogue began working on her fifth studio album in 2004, which would be the follow-up to the successful Neon Nights. After a record company reshuffle, Minogue subsequently left her label London Records and signed with All Around The World where she continued to work on new material. This resulted in the track "You Won’t Forget About Me", which was released as a single in 2004 and "Perfection" which was released the following year. In 2006, after the success of the previous singles, All Around The World arranged to release a greatest hits compilation with new material to support it. Minogue was asked to come up with a new single to launch the compilation. After a writing session with Terry Ronald and producers LMC, the song "So Under Pressure" was conceived and subsequently released as the lead single from ''The Hits & Beyond'' in June 2006. The fifteen previously released 'hits' are among Minogue’s highest charting singles, including four singles from her debut album "Love And Kisses", one track from her second album "Get Into You", three singles from her third album "Girl" and all four singles from her fourth and most successful album, "Neon Nights". The compilation is also supported by five new recordings which represent the 'beyond'. This includes the single "I Can't Sleep at Night" which was released in January 2007. These tracks, along with the three previously released singles were recorded as part of Minogue’s fifth studio album "Club Disco" which would be released a year later. "Club Disco" is Minogue’s only full-length studio album with All Around The World. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hits & Beyond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
