So Fresh
So Fresh is a compilation album currently produced and skewed by Sony Music Australia (formerly Sony BMG Music Entertainment between 2005 and 2008) that is only available in Australia. It is released every three months and is usually focused with a mixture of tracks recorded by artists signed to Sony and Universal Music Australia. The tracks are mainly the biggest Top 40 hits of the season.
Every "So Fresh" compilation album since 2000 (apart from the Pop Party and special #1's or Top 10's versions) has gone to No. 1 on the ARIA Chart "Compilation Albums" list. Most So Fresh compilations sell well over 140,000 copies (Double Platinum in Australia). So Fresh: The Hits of Summer 2004 and So Fresh: The Hits of Summer 2005 both sold over 280,000 copies (4 x Platinum in Australia). They are the most successful compilation albums in Australian music history.
