The best-selling album in U.S. history is The Eagles' first greatest-hits album, and the Billboard pop catalog chart is filled with them. Also, a greatest-hits album will sell forever.

Is that mainly non-country artists, as I have heard that before with the eagles and other more rock-oriented acts...

As a fan, I would much rather have new material than all my favorites repackaged (which, thanks to computer burners I have already done).

But I'm just guessing.

It's at the discretion of the label and it generally doesn't count towards the number of albums indicated in the artist's contract.

When is it appropriate or the right time for an artist to release one? I am surprised that he is releasing one right now. Does he have enough "hits" to put together a whole album? It looks like he's only released 3 studio albums. I just had a question for everyone about Dierks’ greatest hits CD. When is it appropriate or the right time for an artist to release one?

I've been amazed they have remained in publication as long as they have since the Americana music scene does not have a big presence on commercial radio. It was a very well written periodical.. What I want to know is why The Boston Globe would mention and give a capsule review of a song by The Wrights that isn't on their newly released album, only their MySpace website? Hmmm.... I would have been the one person to ask for a refund when Ashton Shepherd had to cancel her concert appearance due to illness. All the gals in the audience, and I bet they made up the vast majority, where there to see and hear pretty boys Chuck Wicks and Keith Anderson. Lila McCann hasn't had any real radio impact in years in spite of Broken Bow's meager efforts at maarketing the "grown up" Lila....

While it was never a complete replacement for the late, lamented COUNTRY MUSIC magazine (prior to its sale and later consolidation into COUNTRY WEEKLY)it was about as good as it gets for intelligent articles and reviews There aren’t enough good magazines in the world - NO DEPRESSION was a very good magazine thst I picked up about 80% of the time at the newstand.
