More Hits by The Supremes is the sixth studio album by Motown singing group the Supremes, released in 1965. The album includes two number-one hits: "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "Back in My Arms Again", as well as the Top 20 single "Nothing but Heartaches".

The album opens up with the B-side "Ask Any Girl" from their Where Did Our Love Go album, which ironically ended side two of their previous album of new material. It was once planned for single release with this new mix.

Barney Ales, then an executive vice-president of Motown Records, reported in the August 14, 1965 issue of Billboard magazine the album had advance orders estimated at 300,000.[3] More Hits by The Supremes peaked at number six on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs album chart and remained on that chart for 37 weeks. It reached number two on Billboard's R&B album chart. To further underscore their popularity, each girl's signature was autographed on the album cover.

The opening track was to have been "Always In My Heart," the back side of "Come See About Me," but then "Ask Any Girl" was remixed as a possible A-side single and the remix opened this album. "Always In My Heart" surfaced later as "You're Gone (But Always In My Heart)" on the "Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" album (at the suggestion of a fan!). The problem with the title "Always In My Heart" was the royalties were being misreported to the standard tune "Always In My Heart."[citation needed]

"Mother Dear" originally was to follow-up "Back In My Arms Again," however Motown decided the follow-up should be a similar vibe and chose "Nothing But Heartaches" instead as the single. When "Heartaches" missed making number one, it caused the label to seek another musical direction for the next single.[citation needed] "Mother Dear" was rearranged with a stop beat and re-recorded but again rejected for single release.

The songs were all released in stereo mixes on the stereo version of the vinyl album except "He Holds His Own," which remained unreleased until the 2011 expanded edition.
