"'''Six Hits'''" is a greatest hits EP by [[Weezer]]. Released exclusively through Best Buy, the EP contains two songs from ''[[The Blue Album]]'', two songs from ''[[The Green Album]]'' and two songs from ''[[Make Believe]]''. The EP was free with the purchase of any Weezer album or [[Alone II]], but was later available for $9.99, and occasionally on sale for $5.99. All tracks are the original album versions, but it should be noted that "Say It Ain't So" is the 1995 remix version (which replaced the original mix on all versions of ''The Blue Album'' pressed since '95), and "Perfect Situation" is the full-length remixed single version (which is also now the standard LP version on pressings of ''Make Believe''), with the full intro guitar solo - as opposed to the remixed single edit. | "'''Six Hits'''" is a greatest hits EP by [[Weezer]].

It is most likely that Geffen pushed the compilation during the 2008 Holiday season in its effort to boost sales of Weezer's [[Red Album]], which, as of 2009, is the worst selling Weezer album. | |||
''Six Hits'' has become the punchline of many Weezer fan jokes. Often, when fans create fan covers, a mock-up of ''Six Hits'' will be posted to fan boards. The album is by many fans considered to be a waste. With a selling price of $9.99 for six songs, one could purchase all of the songs online for less than $6.00. Furthermore, as of 2009, Best Buys were packed with copies of the album. One fan counted "81 copies of ''Six Hits'' to seven copies of an 'actual' album" in his Best Buy. | ''Six Hits'' has become the punchline of many Weezer fan jokes.
