Super Hits is a budget-priced ten-track compilation that features Europe's two biggest hits selected by producer Bruce Dickinson (not to be confused with the Iron Maiden vocalist) "The Final Countdown" and "Carrie", but neglects the lesser-known "Rock the Night" and "Superstitious"[2] in favor of a selection of album tracks and failed singles. The album was geared towards casual fans who want two big hits in one collection.[3]
