The Hits Album 10 or Hits 10 is the tenth release of the Hits series, compiled by BMG, CBS and WEA. It was released in the UK on 22 May 1989. With this release, the compilers returned to the tradition of a volume issue number and the revival of artwork used from Hits 6 to Hits 8, with the issue number forming a central graphic against a black background. It was a successful album and reached number one on the UK Compilation Album chart for six consecutive weeks and achieved a Platinum sales award.
This would be the last release in the Hits series to follow the chronological number ordering it had used from its launch in 1984. From now on, there would be several rebrands, with the next release in the lengthy series called Monster Hits.
The issue-number format would go on to be revived in 2001 with Sony Music, BMG and Warner Music releasing Hits 50 around the same time as Now 50.
Hits 10 features one song which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart: "Eternal Flame".
