The Hits is a compilation album from REO Speedwagon. It contains hits such as "Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Keep on Loving You," as well as new tracks "Here With Me" and "I Don't Want to Lose You." "Here with Me" cracked the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. and the top ten on the Adult Contemporary chart; however, it would be the last single to feature drummer Alan Gratzer and guitarist Gary Richrath, as they each left the band within the year following this album's release. The album sold over 4 million copies in the U.S. which led it to go 4× Platinum.
A conspicuous absentee from the album is "Keep the Fire Burnin'," which reached #7 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1982. The collection is one of several released by the band's label. The album was remastered and reissued in 2002.
