The Hits & Beyond
compilation album by Dannii Minogue
The Hits & Beyond is the second greatest hits album by Australian singer Dannii Minogue. It was released by All Around the World Records on 16 June 2006 in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 19 June 2006. The album was then released by Central Station Records in New Zealand on 4 August 2006 and Australia on 7 August 2006.
The compilation is Minogue's first release with All Around the World Records and second greatest hits album; the first being the 1998 Australian-only budget release, The Singles. The Hits & Beyond consists of fifteen previously released singles making up the 'hits' and five new tracks representing the 'beyond'.
Most of the singles from her second album Get into You from 1993 were omitted. The compilation received moderate success in the UK, where it charted at number 17. The album's release was preceded by its lead single, "So Under Pressure".
Background and composition
Minogue began working on her fifth studio album in 2004, which would be the follow-up to the successful Neon Nights. After a record company reshuffle, Minogue subsequently left her label London Records and signed with All Around the World where she continued to work on new material.

Why this record matters
“The Hits & Beyond” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hits, Beyond and compilation provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2662926. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 1998, 1993 and 2004.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
