best album

Artist's finest work

Best album is a compilation of an artist's or band's greatest hits, typically spanning their career.

Common in Japanese music marketing, the term emphasizes quality over chronology: Their best album went platinum.

In Western markets, these collections are more often called "greatest hits" albums.
