This would be a fantastic release.

 

I think she could get another top 10 with a well packaged greatest hits.

 

Definitely think she could, potentially top 5 if promoted right and released in the right week.

To be fair the likes of Bonnie Tyler, Dolly Parton, Bette Midler, Dead or Alive etc are always putting out "greatest hits" and they only have 2 or 3 proper big hits to their names too. Melanie has 3 bit hits to her name in the UK, then a further massive one in Europe plus Northern star is a silver selling hit. She has more than enough to justify calling it a Greatest Hits.

 

Top 40 is technically called a hit and she has 12 of those:

 

- Never be the same again [#1]

- I turn to you [#1]

- When you're gone [#3]

- Going down [#4]

- Northern star [#4]

- Here it comes again [#7]

- Next best superstar [#10]

- On the horizon [#12]

- Loving you [#14]

- If that were me [#18]

- I want candy [#24] - PLEASE DO NOT PUT IT ON THERE!!

- Melt / Yeh, yeh, yeh [#27]

Plus

- First day of my life [#1 - Germany, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland #2 Austria]

- The moment you believe [#1 - Spain]

- Carolyna [#1 - Portugal]

 

- Think about it [#30 Switzerland, #34 Austria]

- Better aline [#33 Switzerland, #36 Italy]

- Rock me [#38 Germany]

 

(Ps I am aware I'm coming across as a bit of a rabid stan lol)

 

I love this. And a second CD/Vinyl/Digital EP with extras (to make sure her most recent songs that didn’t chart are included)

2. Goin' Down

5. I Turn To You

If Melanie releases a greatest hits she has to include a disc of b-sides/rarities to entice did hard fans to buy it.

 

Yes I imagine it would help her other less known songs slightly as some people would just play the greatest hits in full while they wouldn’t search for the individual songs or play the albums they belong to. I truly think a Greatest Hits would be Mel’s biggest selling album since at least Beautiful Intentions and if promoted right since Reason.
I'd end up buying all three editions if she had different new tracks on each edition!! lol

 

Yep. I would buy all the versions of each edition too :teresa: :rolleyes: :yahoo:

Melanie is releasing another acoustic version - I Turn to You!
Melanie is releasing another acoustic version - I Turn to You!

 

Pass. I know it's her signature song but I'd take any other song being made acoustic.
