Barnes Hits Anthology (also known as The Best Of... Anthology or simply Hits) is the first greatest hits album by Australian rock musician, Jimmy Barnes. It debuted at number 1 in Australia and number 3 in New Zealand.
It was nominated for Highest Selling Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, but lost to Recurring Dream by Crowded House.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic said: "Although it may be a little bit too much for casual fans, Hits is an excellent set that contains all of Jimmy Barnes' hit singles, several album tracks, his hit duet with INXS, several B-sides and a handful of outtakes. For collectors, all of the rarities are worthwhile, even if they reveal no hidden gems. For less dedicated listeners, the rarities bog down the set slightly, but this remains the definitive overview of this blue-collar Australian rocker."
Hits was Barnes' seventh number 1 album in Australia.
