Super Hits is a budget-priced ten-track collection that features Europe's two biggest hits,^[2] The Final Countdown and Carrie, but neglects the lesser-known Rock the Night and Superstitious^[3] in favor of a selection of album tracks and failed singles. Casual fans who want the two big hits on one disc may like this collection, but dedicated listeners will prefer the more comprehensive 1982-1992.^[4]
