  Greatest hits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A greatest hits album (sometimes referred to as a "best of" album) is a compilation album of successful, previously released songs by a particular music artist or band.
Greatest hits albums are typically produced after an artist has had enough successful songs to fill out an album release.
In 2005, some greatest hits albums became ridiculed because many young "pre-mature" artists were releasing them.

 Thalia: Greatest Hits (2003)
This Greatest Hits album features, for the first time, Thalia's chart-topping hits together with all her memorable videos, previously unavailable.
Thalia: Greatest Hits appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, dssle-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
Overall, the quality varied too much for Greatest Hits to earn a high grade, but the pretty solid quality of the videos from 2000 to date brought it up to a “B”.

Greatest Hits also includes "Love Takes Time" and "I Don't Wanna Cry" -- two more stupendous tracks on her eponymous debut.
Mariah, then and later on, sang unselfishly for the love starved and the lonely, as if she were put on this earth to do so.

The last half-dozen songs don't quite hold the standard, although "Clap For The Wolfman" was a huge hit and is a fun tribute to Wolfman Jack, the legendary host of "Midnight Special." Less effective is the silly reggae attempt, "Follow Your Daughter Home," and "Heartbroken Bopper" is an ordinary rocker.
While most greatest hits CDs are celebrations of the best contributions of a group, some of the last songs on this CD detract from the best songs of The Guess Who by suggesting the group should have quit while they were still ahead.
With a flurry of best-selling rock hits over a short spate of several years, the Canadian group "Guess Who" topped the charts and were on the "A" list for concerts and gigs.

The results aren't really as bad as one would expect, especially considering what they manage to cram into a single disc, but as with all "Greatest Hits" albums, fans are going to feel instantly letdown that their favorite songs aren't included.

All of which is to say that Greatest Hits is a hodge-podge that, while not without merit, is nevertheless unsatisfactory in several ways.
Springsteen considered calling it something other than Greatest Hits (one idea: This Hard Land), and that might have been a better idea if he was going to fiddle with the concept this much.
Some of Springsteen's best and best-known hit recordings are here -- "Born to Run, " "Hungry Heart, " "Dancing in the Dark, " "Born in the U.S.A., " and the recent "Streets of Philadelphia, " the success of which probably prompted the release of a compilation.

This compilation is, for the most part, very different from Reba's first MCA greatest hits package although it contains one track (Love will find its way to you) that could have been included on that first volume but wasn't.
It is a far greater surprise to find that Reba has never had a major American pop hit although she has, of course, been consistently successful on the country charts.
The missing hits from this period didn't appear on volume three either so there are still several of Reba's major country hits that have yet to appear on a compilation.

NEW YORK (AP) — A greatest-hits album once stood as a watershed — a milestone chronicling a collection of top-rated hits, culturally significant songs or the end of a stellar career.
But in recent years, a flood of "best of" titles from acts with only few years in the business — and performers with even fewer hits — have called into question how great a greatest-hits collection really is these days.

Bryan Adams said in every interview during the 1980s that he was a "rocker." But his biggest hits have been ballads.
In 1995, BTE released its platinum-selling debut album "Deluxe." What followed was a long road of recording, touring and nabbing a bunch of fans who were drawn to the band's trademark club-rock sound.
Songs include the Top 40 hits "Good" and "Rosealia," as well as other charting singles "All the Stars" and "Desperately Wanting." Previously unreleased works, a French radio version of "This Time of Year" and a voodoo mix of "Porcelain" give this one a bang.

What follows is one of the greatest strings of singles to ever deal head-on with that confrontation between dreams and realities.
