- The first Hits Album to be released on CD. A single-CD with a collection of tracks from the standard album.
- The first Hits Album to be released on double-CD.
- Until 14 January 1989, compilation albums were included in the main UK Top 100 Album chart. After this date onwards, they were listed separately.
- Although not titled as such, this album is listed as 'Hits 15'.
- Had the chronological numbering system been continued, this album would be listed as 'Hits 48', not 'Hits 50', it would be 'Hits 50', however, if both dance and club albums released before 'Hits 50' were counted.
- Some of the songs found on Hits 58 and Hits 59 can be found on Hits 60; e.g. "Life for Rent" by Dido, "Left Outside Alone" by Anastacia, "Love is Only a Feeling" by The Darkness, "Hold Onto Our Love" by James Fox and "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind" by Agnetha Faltskog.
- These were 'year-end' collections, combining the biggest hits of previous volumes. There was not an edition of Huge Hits 2001 or Huge Hits 2002, although Huge Hits 2000 was released in 2000 and Huge Hits 2003 was released in 2002, making 2001 the only year without a Huge Hits between the 1996 and 2004 volumes.

Famous quotes containing the word complete:
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
