Pop! - the First 20 Hits is a greatest hits collection from Erasure, released in 1992 by Mute Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the U.S. The album utilizes a straightforward format: all of Erasure's singles up to that point, sequenced in chronological order.
In the UK, "Who Needs Love Like That" was released as a single in remixed form ("The Hamburg Mix"). No songs were released as singles in the U.S., although the cassette version of Pop! contained the "Hamburg Mix" as a bonus track tacked onto the end of the album.
