Turn It On Again: The Hits is a 1999 compilation album by veteran progressive rock/pop band Genesis.

Although it mostly samples material from the Phil Collins era (1976 - 1992), the collection stretches back to "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" from 1973's Selling England by the Pound — the only track from the Peter Gabriel years. However, as a bonus, a re-recording of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway's "The Carpet Crawlers" featuring Gabriel, Collins and Steve Hackett—recorded in 1997 and 1998 and intended for Genesis Archive 1967-75 — was included as well.

Upon its release, Turn It On Again: The Hits reached #4 on the UK Albums Chart and #65 on the U.S. albums chart , where it achieved gold record status.

In 2007 the compilation was re-released as a 2-CD set with bonus tracks for the new tour of the group. The project was again extremely successful, re-entering the charts at #14 and the following week climbing to #5. The 2-disc version was released in the US on September 11 replacing The Platinum Collection.

The 7 letters Genesis logo are parts of the different logos of the band over the years. However, the first "e" of the logo is actually the second "e" of the album it originally appeared (We Can't Dance)
