Example's shed some light on this whole '#hits' album thing

  • August 5, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Example'Perfect Replacement' hitmaker Example's released a statement of sorts explain­ing why there's a greatest hits album out this week with his name on it.

"I am receiving lots of enquiries (and abuse!?) about the "#hits" com­pil­a­tion album being issued this week by Ministry of Sound featuring all the singles from my last 3 albums," he writes on popular picture-sharing applic­a­tion Instagram.

"I wish to inform my fans that I have recently signed with a new record label — Sony/Epic. The decision to issue this com­pil­a­tion album therefore is not mine and totally beyond my control. Hence also why it doesn't include my new single 'All The Wrong Places'."

He continues: "So the various comments I am receiving regarding "cashing in", "bad timing" and "undeserving of a greatest hits" please direct to Ministry. The official example greatest hits, if it ever happens will be much further down the line and if you are still following me then I will let you know about it! (Not gonna lie though — pretty good track­list­ing)."

So there you go. You can't really blame Ministry can you. But nor can you blame Elliot. Nobody is to blame. Let's all move along.
