Posted June 2, 201411 yr Been thinking a lot recently that Katy's greatest hits album, if (or when) it happens, and this was also inspired by a post I saw acidburn make in one of the poll threads. My question is, what would you put on the tracklisting? Would you include all singles or exclude some? Any album tracks you'd tag on as bonus tracks? Feel free to be as creative as you want also, I'm gonna try and work on a CD cover for it alongside my tracklisting. Post away!
June 2, 201411 yr Well I wouldn't like her to cut any singles but when she comes round to releasing it, I can't imagine her keeping ALL of them. If she released it after the Prism campaign this is what I'd like: 1. Firework 2. Roar 3. New Track (lead single) 4. California Gurls 5. I Kissed A Girl 6. Dark Horse 7. Teenage Dream 8. E.T. 9. Hot N Cold 10. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) 11. New Track 12. Part Of Me 13. Wide Awake 14. Birthday 15. Legendary Lovers 16. Waking Up In Vegas 17. Thinking Of You 18. The One That Got Away 19. Unconditionally 20. Walking On Air 21. New Track 22. New Track Of course a bonus DVD with all the videos is a MUST
June 2, 201411 yr A Greatest Hits should only actually include HITS, kinda the point. If she wanted all of her singles on it, call it a Singles Collection. I'm pretty fussy about things like that. :lol:
June 2, 201411 yr Author Well treat the term "greatest hits" however you want, I'm personally not that fussy when it comes to things like that and feel that all singles, or as many as possible, should be included. :kink:
June 2, 201411 yr I like it when 'Greatest Hits'/'Singles Collections' go in chronological order. I know it's "the lazy way" but it shows how much the artist progresses throughout their careers. It also irritates me when they miss certain singles off (The Killers were terrible for this last year! R.I.P. 'Bones' :drama:). So I'd rather they released two discs if they had to! I think all artists should also have a DVD of all the videos on their greatest hits, too! Kelly Clarkson got it bang on (except the track order was messy and she missed a fair few videos iirc, despite the songs being on the tracklist. Obviously 2 or 3 new tracks is an added bonus! EDIT: YES ROB! LMAO.

June 2, 201411 yr Adam's track list is quite good, but I would make the floppy singles (Birthday, Legendary Lovers, Waking Up In Vegas, Thinking Of You, Unconditionally and Walking On Air) deluxe edition only, and I'd only have 2 new tracks on the album, so 14 songs in total on the main track list. Both new tracks would be released as singles, one of them premiering and released six weeks before the album, with the UK release date of the song one month after its premiere. The other would be a post-album single featuring a hot rapper (Iggy Azalea?) Could be a big era for her if they push it right.

The only floppy and bad song in there is Birthday Edited June 2, 201411 yr by *Tim
June 2, 201411 yr I think if she released one next, the only track I could see being potentially excluded would be 'Thinking Of You' as everything else has been a pretty sizeable hit at least in the US (well, I am aware of 'Unconditionally' but I know she loves that song too much to allow it to be excluded). What a smashing collection it would be though, a pretty incredible singles discography thus far. Also YES to the suggestion of 'Greatest Tits', and to recreate the scene from the 'California Gurls' video on the cover. Edited June 2, 201411 yr by mr_aly

Artwork ideas (all three have their benefits I think and I can't decide which one to post so all three are being posted): http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/GreatestHits1.png http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/GreatestHits2.png http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/MarthaJonesFan/GreatestHits3.png
June 2, 201411 yr GREAT idea for cover art! Has to be the first or second one (or both obvs, one for the deluxe version), the background images aren't identifiable enough on the last one. Love it!
June 2, 201411 yr Author Thank you!! I thought that but then I thought they could be a bit too overbearing in the first two, so I made a more subtle one just in case :kink:
June 3, 201411 yr I'm genuinely upset that we're not getting this album (at least for a while yet) and those aren't going to be the artwork! :( They'd all look so good in physical form!
