Madonna also had a heck of a lot of singles to choose from:
Everybody Burning Up Physical Attraction Holiday Borderline Lucky Star Like a Virgin Material Girl Crazy for You Angel Into the Groove Dress You Up Gambler Live to Tell Papa Don't Preach True Blue Open Your Heart La Isla Bonita Who's That Girl? Causin' a Commotion The Look of Love Spotlight Like a Prayer Express Yourself Cherish Oh Father Dear Jessie Keep It Together Vogue Hanky Panky In addition to the 2 new songs, that's 30 singles, most of them big hits. I haven't followed Britney's career, but I'm sure she didn't have nearly that many when she issued her hits collection. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

That's what I was gonna say. They use a lot of organ and vintage synths, but it's never the most prominent element in the mix. And I think that's why I was so surprised by them. I was expecting them to be a trendy techno group. But they're just a quirky, colorful, really accomplished band. | |

Chico319 said: fact:

It's a totally different fanbase. well, there was a basement jaxx best-of that was released last year, and a chemical brothers best-of that was released either last year or the year before. those are the two i can think of right off the top of my head... They have had huge international hits. Stereolab really hasn't. | |

  , but what really bugs me is how many greatest hits packages are label created; i.e., the artist had nothing to do with the creation of it. Like someone else said about the Madonna GHV2, they repackage a bunch but not all of their biggest hits and leave out the rest of the hits to repackage into another hits set. Then you have all of the "essential," "20th Century Masters," and "gold" collections, which may be good for some casual fans who were not really that into the artist, but a slap in the face for the true fans. These greatest hits collections are also a way for record companies to prematurely end some artist's contract when they feel that the artist is getting stale, even if the contract hasn't been completed yet. For example, an artist is signed to the record company for six albums, and the first four albums sell over three million copies each. The artist releases the fifth album, but it only sells 1.5 million copies and has lukewarm reviews. Now, some music execs may see this as an slight dip, but others who are too greedy will say that the artist is washed up and force the artist to release the last album as a greatest hits package so they can be dumped from the label. (It's also a sneaky way to get around just buying out the remainder of the artist's contact and parting ways.) What may be even worse for the artist is that the label probably owns the masters for those earlier albums and can repackage them any way they want two for as long as they own them without any say from the artist whatsoever.
BTW, I'm surprised that Billy Ocean didn't take advantage of the movie "Oceans Eleven" when it was out a few years ago and release a greatest hits package then. It could have been a clever tie-in.  Brilliant comments, huey but you totally lost me on a tie in for Billy Ocean and "Ocean's Eleven" unless you're being sarcastic...or you're stoned out of your mind! | |
