Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the world's most popular rock acts with a formidable arsenal of hit songs that continue to propel sold-out tours and album chart action.

Now their latest album, "The Best of Foreigner 4 & More," is due out Dec. 16.

This new collection includes brand new live high-definition recordings of songs from one of their most beloved albums, '4.'   Pre-orders are available on Amazon.com. 

Foreigner's current lineup consists of original guitarist Mick Jones, Kelly Hansen taking over for Lou Gramm on vocal, Jeff Pilson on bass, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, Tom Gimbel on rhythm guitar and sax, Bruce Watson on guitar and Chris Frazier on drums.

'4' spent more weeks at #1 on the Billboard charts than any artist in the history of Atlantic Records, including AC/DC, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, and went on to sell more than nine million albums worldwide. The band re-recorded their most enduring anthems at the Borgata Hotel's Music Box venue in Atlantic City, N.J., in October.

The set features some of rock's best-known hits including "Feels Like The First Time," "Cold As Ice," "Hot Blooded" and Foreigner's iconic ballad, "I Want To Know What Love Is," along with a selection of best songs from "Foreigner 4," such as "Waiting For A Girl Like You," "Juke Box Hero" and "Woman In Black."

Fans can check out an exclusive stream of "Juke Box Hero" on USA TODAY's website which went live Wednesday.

"Our music has touched a lot of people worldwide and we've unwittingly weaved our music into the fabric of people's lives," said Foreigner founder-lead guitarist Mick Jones.  Also serving as executive producer of the new album, the Songwriters Hall Of Fame member wrote or co-wrote every Foreigner song.

"Great songs, great performances and great production are timeless. '4' has all three in spades," said bassist and producer Jeff Pilson. "Bringing the album to life on stage with the energy and passion the band has always maintained, made us very happy."

Singer Kelly Hansen adds,"The idea for this recording came as a way to celebrate the original album. There are some tracks that were never previously performed live in this format."
