"Greatest Hits" is the quintessential compilation album by the esteemed British-American rock ensemble Fleetwood Mac, hitting the shelves on November 21, 1988, courtesy of Warner Bros. Records. This collection encapsulates the zenith of the band's commercial prowess, spanning from the mid-1970s to the late-1980s.
 
Distinguished from the identically titled 1971 release by the Peter Green iteration of the band, this 1988 rendition boasts a distinct tracklist. Drawing exclusively from recordings post the inclusion of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham into the ensemble in 1975, it excludes earlier gems like "Albatross" and "Oh Well."
 
Since its debut, the album has enjoyed resounding success, cementing its place as a perennial favorite among fans. Ascending to number 14 on the US Billboard 200, it has maintained steady sales over the years, earning a staggering 8× platinum certification for shipping a remarkable eight million copies in the United States alone. In the UK, the album secured a position at number three upon its release. Its enduring popularity is evidenced by its recurrent appearances on the UK album chart, complemented by a triple platinum certification for shipping an impressive 900,000 copies.
