Top 40 Hits is the name of an album by Anal Cunt, released in 1995 on CD and cassette on Earache Records as MOSh 129 CD. It has 40 tracks, like the title implies, but the average track length is less than a minute long.

The album was recorded in 1994 as part of the band's attempt to move from playing noisecore to playing fast hardcore songs, although the album contains both styles. There are also numerous cover songs on the album including those of Rupert Holmes's "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)", The Guess Who's "American Woman", Elton John's "I'm Still Standing", the A-Team theme tune and a cover of the Bee Gees song "Stayin' Alive". Their version of this song, "Stayin' Alive (Oi! Version)" was released as a promotional single before the album was released.

Many of these songs are still played by Anal Cunt at concerts and have remained fan favourites, most notably "I'm Still Standing", which they perform when there is a disabled person in the audience.

The album reached number 8 in the CMJ Loud Chart [1] and in 2004, the album was made available for download from the official Anal Cunt webpage.
