Phil Collins’ recent Take A Look At Me Now retrospective campaign was a huge success which inspired a critical re-evaluation of his back catalogue as several of his albums returned to the charts. Now he turns his attention to the biggest tracks throughout his career with the release of The Singles collection on October 14th.

The Singles charts Collins’ entire solo career, from his smash hit 1981 debut In The Air Tonight to the title track from his most recent studio album, 2010’s Going Back. It encompasses five Australian top five hits (In The Air Tonight, You Can’t Hurry Love, Against All Odds, One More Night  and A Groovy Kind Of Love) and seven top 10 hits including Sussudio and Don’t Lose My Number.   

It also includes numerous other highlights from his story so far, such as his first Grammy-nominated single I Don’t Care Anymore; You’ll Be In My Heart, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song after featuring in the Disney film Tarzan; and numerous songs which became staples of his live shows including Sussudio, Don’t Lose My Number and Something Happened On The Way To Heaven.

As with the Take A Look At Me Now campaign, the album mastering process has been overseen by Nick Davis who earned a Grammy nomination for Best Surround Sound album for his work on the Genesis ‘1970-1975’ box set. Davis has also worked on all of the Genesis retrospective reissues.

The Singles will be available on three formats. The 3CD deluxe edition compiles his 45 hit singles from all over the world in chronological order for the first time, while the 2CD and 4LP box set editions compile the 33 key tracks from his career. Both editions will also be available digitally.

The Singles coincides with the release of Phil Collins’ long-awaited autobiography Not Dead Yet: The Autobiography. Set to be published by Random House Books Australia on October 31st, this is the rollercoaster journey from his beginnings as a child actor to his domination of the charts both as a solo artist and part of Genesis.
