Posted July 25, 201213 yr The two that spring to mind are Coldplay and Rihanna. Both have more than enough songs to fill a Greatest Hits. Coldplay have had 17 Top 40 hits now from 5 albums. Rihanna has had 25 Top 40 hits (as lead artist), also from 5 albums. Do you think either of them will release a Greatest Hits compilation this year or in the near future? What other artists are long overdue a Greatest Hits?
July 25, 201213 yr Author Wow, didn't realise Metallica hadn't released a GH. 19 Top 40 hits in a chart career spanning 25(!!) years... I guess the band must be against releasing compilation albums. Edited July 25, 201213 yr by mango7
July 25, 201213 yr Black Eyed Peas no no and no. unless it contains just 13 mixes of"just can't get enough" and"meet me halfway"
July 25, 201213 yr no no and no. unless it contains just 13 mixes of"just can't get enough" and"meet me halfway" So how about a remix compilation album? Lol I think Muse and Linkin Park are due one soon Edited July 25, 201213 yr by soundseekerz
July 25, 201213 yr Muse - They're just about to release album number 6. I'd like a Red Hot Chili Peppers singles album, which includes ALL the singles unlike the 2003 GH album. Also David Guetta would have enough for a GH album now, but I'd only buy it if it features his earlier stuff such as Just a Little More Love, When The Lights Go Out, etc.... as well as stuff from One Love and NBTB.
July 25, 201213 yr Author I don't think David Guetta's chart career has been consistent enough for a GH yet, he's only really been having big hits for the last couple of years. RHCP, Muse and BEP definitely though. Edited July 25, 201213 yr by mango7
July 25, 201213 yr Author Another Kylie GH perhaps? :lol: Yeah it's been at least a month now since the last one :lol:
July 25, 201213 yr Kate Bush, KLF, Coldplay, Muse and Rihanna ones would be fairly packed with great stuff. But in the case of Rihanna it would probably not be the track listing of my preferences. Edited July 25, 201213 yr by tonyttt31
July 25, 201213 yr Looking at the current top 100; Usher, Chris Brown, Kanye West, Maroon 5, Sean Paul, Kelly Clarkson are all due GH's in the near future, as well as some artists already mentioned in this thread.
July 25, 201213 yr I only think that Coldplay will do a greatest hits when they split up and I doubt it will have any new tracks on it - same with Muse. Regarding Rihanna, I don't think that she'll release one within the next couple of years as she's only 23/4.
July 25, 201213 yr I made this exact thread last September! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=133922
July 25, 201213 yr Rihanna... Pon De Replay SOS Unfaithful Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z) Don't Stop The Music Take A Bow Disturbia Run This Town (feat. Jay-Z & Kanye West) Russian Roulette Hard (feat. Jeezy) Rude Boy Only Girl (In The World) What's My Name? (feat. Drake) S&M Love The Way You Lie Part II (feat. Eminem) We Found Love Where Have You Been + 2 new songs Beyonce... Crazy In Love (feat. Jay-Z) Baby Boy (feat. Sean Paul) Me, Myself and I Naughty Girl Check On It (feat. Slim Thug) Deja Vu (feat. Jay-Z) Irreplaceable Listen Beautiful Liar (feat. Shakira) If I Were A Boy Single Ladies Halo Sweet Dreams Run The World (Girls) Best Thing I Never Had Love On Top + 3 new songs Rihanna's is definately stronger than Bey's!
July 25, 201213 yr The two that spring to mind are Coldplay and Rihanna. Both have more than enough songs to fill a Greatest Hits. Coldplay have had 17 Top 40 hits now from 5 albums.

What other artists are long overdue a Greatest Hits? The meaning of the word 'Greatest Hits' has been abused by the record companies. I get what they are doing, getting out a hits collection while the bands are at the top of their game to sell it but that isn't the point. They should just out and out say its a 'Singles Collection' like No Doubt did. Its not a greatest hits. A performer or band brings out a Greatest hits at the end of their career surmising the best of their output like Abba Gold or Queen 'Greatest Hits'. The idea that Rihanna or Coldplay should bring out a Greatest Hits is ridiculous.
July 25, 201213 yr Why it is ridiculous for Coldplay? It's not happening any time soon but don't think it's ridiculous when it's due to happen.
July 25, 201213 yr I think his point was that Coldplay and Rihanna are still going/in their prime, so they shouldn't be releasing their 'greatest hits' when they are potentially many great hits to come. The term 'singles collection' would be a better suited term for artists who are still going. I do kind of agree here. What's the point in a Rihanna Greatest Hits if she'll have another 20 or so hits to add 5 years down the line? That said, she has plenty of songs to pick from so it would be a wise marketing move.
