"The Best of 10 Years - 32 Superhits" also known as "32 Superhits - Non-Stop Digital Remix" is a remix album by Boney M. released in 1986.

In 1981 producer Frank Farian created a thirteen minute medley in the style of Stars On 45 called "6 Years of Boney M. Hits (Boney M. on 45)" which was issued as both A- and B-side singles in certain territories - in the UK the medley was the B-side of "Boonoonoonoos" 12" single "We Kill The World (Don't Kill The World)", in Germany the edited 7" version appeared as the B-side of "Christmas Album" single "Little Drummer Boy" and the longer version as a separate A-side 12" release in early 1982.

Five years later, shortly after the unsuccessful "Eye Dance" project, when Boney M. were celebrating their first decade as a group - although it in reality was dissolved at the time - Farian took the non-stop medley idea one step further and extended the medley to a thirty-two track, forty-six minutes full-length album of Boney M's greatest hits with additional percussive and synthesized overdubs.

"The Best of 10 Years - 32 Superhits" reached #35 on the UK albums chart.
