Snap It Up! Monster Hits 2 (also known as Hits 12), is a compilation album forming part of the Hits compilation series. It is the 12th volume in the long-running series. The double album was released in August 1990 and was the follow-up to Monster Hits, released the previous year.
The album reached #2 in the UK Top 20 Compilations Chart and was the second Hits album not to achieve a BPI Platinum award, after 1988's Hits Album. Furthermore, after two volumes, the Monster Hits title was dropped, and the next Hits compilation contained a new title and format.
Snap It Up! features one song which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart: "World in Motion".
