The Hits Album 3 or Hits 3 is a compilation album released in the UK by CBS and WEA in December 1985. It followed up the extremely successful previous volumes Hits 1 and Hits 2. Although those albums both reached #1, Hits 3 peaked at #2 (held off by Now 6), despite a strong track-listing including a rare appearance of a Madonna track on a compilation album and a further 20 top ten hits.
Hits 3 was a 28 track double-LP and cassette and selected tracks were also issued on VHS.
Hits 3 features two songs which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart: "Frankie" and "The Power of Love (Jennifer Rush song)".
The Cars song "Drive" previously appeared on Hits 1.
