Where this album fits

Career context
Released in early 2002, 'Hits' came after Pulp's commercial peak with their critically acclaimed album 'Different Class' (1995) and follows the band's lead singer Jarvis Cocker's rise as a cultural icon. By this time, Pulp had solidified their place in the Britpop movement, showcasing a retrospective of their most beloved tracks while hinting at their transition towards more introspective themes.
