    The Hits is a

    greatest hits compilation album by British singer-songwriter Will Young. It was released on 16 November 2009.[2] It contains twelve songs from Young's first four studio albums, From Now On (2002), Friday's Child (2003), Keep On (2005) and Let It Go (2008), plus two bonus tracks.[2] The first is new single "Hopes & Fears
    ", and the second is a ballad called "If It Hadn't Been for Love".

    The album is noted for omitting certain single releases: "Anything Is Possible", which was a number-one hit as a double A-side with "Evergreen", the number-one duet with Gareth Gates, "The Long and Winding Road" and the single "Don't Let Me Down". Four tracks were written or co-written by Will Young.
