The Greatest Hits (Cher album)

The Greatest Hits is the second European compilation album by American singer-actress Cher, released on November 30, 1999, by Warner Music U.K.'s WEA label. The album was very successful worldwide, topping the charts in Austria, Germany, and Denmark. It peaked at #7 on the official UK Albums Chart, and reached the top 10 in several countries across Europe and the rest of the world. This compilation was not available in the United States, due to the release of the US-only compilation, If I Could Turn Back Time: Cher's Greatest Hits which was released that same year. The album sold 3 million copies as of January 2000.

Critical reception
AllMusic noted that the compilation "samples the biggest hits from throughout Cher's career" but "concentrates the heaviest on her '80s/early-'90s material", adding that it is "not the most logical sequencing in the world", though it "does have all the signature songs in one place", which "may be enough for many listeners". In a second review the journal noted that "Believe is not all that bad" and that the compilation has "some other sunny moments", but criticized that "about half the selections are pretty crummy", adding that the older songs retain "a nostalgia-evoking power". Times Colonist wrote that "The Greatest Hits "deftly chronicles said hits" and is "an excellent offering for the gypsies, tramps and thieves in all of us". ==Track listing==
