So Fresh
So Fresh is an Australian compilation album series. It began in 2000, as a joint venture from Sony, BMG and Universal, replacing the prior Hit Machine series, which ran from 1993 to 2000. From 2000 until 2023, So Fresh albums were released four times per year, named after each season, consisting of current hit songs from artists signed to Sony, BMG or Universal. In March 2024, So Fresh announced that the series would change to a single annual edition; So Fresh: Best of 2024 was released in November 2024.
So Fresh albums have been highly successful in Australia. Every edition from Spring 2000 to Winter 2016 was certified at least platinum, and every year from 2001–2011, 2014–2015 and 2017–2024, the year's highest selling compilation in Australia has been a So Fresh album. As of Summer 2024, all 94 seasonal So Fresh albums have reached number one on the ARIA Compilations Chart.
Various other So Fresh spin-off albums have also been released, including an annual Christmas compilation each year from 2002 to 2019, and several DVD releases. From September 2003 until approximately November 2006, So Fresh also ran a weekly TV show on the Nine Network, featuring "music clips, interviews the ARIA top 10", hosted by Jules Lund and Elysia Pratt.
