best of album
Artist's top tracks
A best of album is a compilation gathering an artist's most popular or acclaimed songs, typically spanning multiple previous releases.
Also called a greatest hits album, it serves as an introduction for new listeners or a convenient collection for fans: I started with their best of album before exploring the full discography.
The selections usually favor commercial singles over deep cuts.
