'''''Super 20''''' is a [[greatest hits album]] by [[French people|French]] singer [[Amanda Lear]], released in 1989 by [[Ariola Records]].


==Background==
'''''Super 20''''' is the second compilation compilation by French singer [[Amanda Lear]] released on [[BMG-Ariola]] in 1989. This is also the first compilation available in West Germany and in South Africa.
The album was part of the ''Super 20'' compilation series, released by Ariola Records throughout 1989, which included albums with music of the likes of [[Al Bano and Romina Power]], [[Bad Boys Blue]], [[C. C. Catch]] and more. It was Lear's first retrospective released on new digital format [[compact disc]]. The compilation includes songs from her first five Ariola studio albums, released between 1977 and 1981, as well as the 1982 non-album single "[[Fever (Little Willie John song)|Fever]]". The CD features many of Amanda's biggest hits from the [[disco]] era, however, "[[Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)]]", a Top 10 hit considered to be one of her most famous songs, was ignored in the final track listing, and so were charting singles "[[Lili Marleen#Amanda Lear version|Lili Marleen]]", "[[Solomon Gundie]]", "[[Incredibilmente donna]]" and "[[Love Your Body]]".


The artwork is credited to Ariola Studios. The picture used on the album's cover dates back to 1978 and depicts Amanda in the same outfit she wore on the cover of the Italian version of the single "Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://amandalear_singoli.tripod.com/019_enigma_78.htm |title=ENIGMA (Give A Bit Of Mmh To Me) 1978 Italy |publisher=amandalear_singoli.tripod.com |accessdate=2014-02-13}}</ref> and in the video for "[[Gold (Amanda Lear song)|Gold]]" filmed for the Italian TV series ''[[Stryx]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQJGVzkv4wY |title=Amanda Lear - Gold (Stryx) |work=[[Stryx]] |publisher=www.youtube.com |accessdate=2014-02-13}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead Youtube links|date=February 2022}}</ref>

Catch and more. It was Lear's first retrospective released on new digital format compact disc. The compilation includes songs from her first five Ariola studio albums, released between 1977 and 1981, as well as the 1982 non-album single "Fever". The CD features many of Amanda's biggest hits from the disco era, however, "Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)", a Top 10 hit considered to be one of her most famous songs, was ignored in the final track listing, and so were charting singles "Lili Marleen", "Solomon Gundie", "Incredibilmente donna" and "Love Your Body".
