Hits Volume 1 (sometimes referred to as YouTube Hits Vol. 1) is the debut studio album by American musical group the Piano Guys. It was self-released in December 2011 as a means to distribute high-quality audio recordings of their most popular YouTube videos at the time. Many of the songs have since been re-released on The Piano Guys and The Piano Guys 2.
The final two tracks are listed as only available on the Limited Founder's Edition, but following the Piano Guys' record deal with Sony Masterworks, no other version of the album was released.
