The Hit Factory: Pete Waterman's Greatest Hits is a compilation album featuring music produced by Pete Waterman. It was released by Universal Music in 2000 and reached #3 in the UK compilation Top 20 chart, achieving a Gold BPI award.
Unlike previous releases called The Hit Factory, this album concentrated on Waterman's productions outside his most successful Stock Aitken Waterman era and also included a couple of big hits that were exclusively licensed to his PWL Records label in which he had little production involvement.
The album features thirteen UK #1 hits and two further US #1's.
