Total Pop! The First 40 Hits is a greatest hits collection from Erasure, released on 23 February 2009 by Mute Records. The album utilizes a straightforward format: all of Erasure's singles up to that point, sequenced in chronological order. This is a continuation of the format used in Erasure's 1992 hits collection Pop! - the First 20 Hits.
The album was released in a variety of formats: a standard 2-CD set containing the 40 hits, a deluxe 3-CD/DVD longbox set containing the 40 hits, along with live performances from 1987–2007, and appearances at the BBC from 1986-2005. The digital download version of the album contains three additional bonus 'hits'.
Prior to its release, a remix album titled Pop! Remixed was released on 9 February 2009.
A free 4 track digital download titled Pop! Treasure, which features previously unreleased material was made available to those who pre-ordered the box set via the Erasure online shop.
The album entered the UK Album Chart at number 21 and at number 12 in Argentina.
