专辑介绍

Greatest is a greatest hits compilation album released in 1998 by the band Duran Duran.

Greatest was an update of the 1989 tenth anniversary compilation album, Decade: Greatest Hits. The new release included songs from their eponymous debut album through 1997's Medazzaland. The album includes all 14 songs featured in Decade: Greatest Hits, plus &New Moon on Monday& and four singles from the 90's, however both &Save a Prayer& and &Rio& are presented in their shorter US versions in order to fit on a single CD whereas they appeared in their full versions on the former compilation.

The album was released by EMI after parting ways with the band after the disastrous Medazzaland album release in 1997, and marked the first of many releases designed to capitalise on the band's extensive EMI-controlled back catalogue.

To coincide with the release of the Greatest album in the United Kingdom, the song &Electric Barbarella& was released as a single. This track was originally released as a single in North America in 1997 to promote the Medazzaland album (which was never released officially in the UK). &Electric Barbarella& was also the basis for a retroactive correction in licencing payments in the band's favour, after Cuccurullo discovered that the song was mistakenly credited as having been licensed by Capitol Records instead of the band itself (rights had reverted to the band).

As of 2009, the collection has sold over a million copies in the United States.

To date, a full collection of Duran Duran's singles on one album still hasn't been released.
