Greatest Hits is a 1991 retrospective compilation album by Eurythmics, containing their successful singles spanning the years 1982 through 1990. It was enormously successful, topping the charts in the UK for a total of 10 weeks and in Australia for 7 weeks. It remains the duo's best selling album worldwide and has been certified 6x Platinum in the UK and 3x Platinum in the U.S.
The European version of the album contained eighteen tracks, a vinyl LP version was released with only thirteen tracks, while the version released in the United States contained fourteen. "Angel", peresent on both the European and U.S. edition was not on the LP version. Compared to the U.S. version, five additional songs on the European edition were "Right By Your Side", "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)," "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)," "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart," and "The Miracle of Love" whilst "The King and Queen of America" was omitted. The track order also differed. Neither the European nor the U.S. version of Greatest Hits contained their top 30 hits "Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)" (1987) or "Revival" (1989).
The collection was largely superseded by 2005's Ultimate Collection.
