Release Date: November 27, 2026

Rock legends The Darkness proudly announce their first personally curated best of album Crock of Hits for release on November 27th via Warner Music.
Compiled by the British national treasures themselves, Crock of Hits forms a magnificent sonic highlight reel of their chart-topping, award-winning, multi-platinum selling catalogue, which has spawned some of the most iconic rock songs in history.

It pulls from across their eight studio albums, including the game-changing 2003 debut Permission To Land, right through to their latest chartbusting, critically acclaimed Dreams On Toast, which soared to No.2 in the UK Official Albums Chart in 2025, as well as featuring their festive smash hit single ‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)’.

Crock of Hits extended 3CD format features further spectacular additions including live tracks, radio sessions and a new edition of ‘Masters Of The Universe’ featuring Queen’s Brian May. Also available as a 1CD and 2LP on Red & Yellow vinyl

Announcing the record Justin Hawkins says, “Listen upon our works ye mighty and rejoice! ‘Crock of Hits’ will startle you. Hold you as you tremble. And gently force you to succumb to its aural splendour. A ‘best of’ curated by us, so you can be certain it’s the bestest of the bestiest. Suck it up, people…”
