I like this topic but I don't like any of the artists mentioned. I might try to cobble together a Bowie Best Of but it would be very hard work. Any Bowie fans around? Or Neil Young or any other old codger?
I was going for a one-disc collection. With a two-disc, you can cram a lot more on. I left off two of my absolute faves, Politik and Lovers in Japan. With a best of/greatest hits, it's cool to see what would make an accurate representation of an act's body of work.
Ah I see. That's cool. I do agree with you about Politik though. Still think it's one of the best songs Chris Martin has ever written.
1. Get Lucky (Radio Edit) [feat. Pharrell Williams]

Additional tracks for a Bonus Track Version:
16. Derezzed
17. Music Sounds Better With You ( by Stardust )
18. Musique
Hypothetically, Daft Punk would blend and sequence the tracks together to resemble a DJ set, leaving no gaps between tracks. They could possibly also remix the songs slightly to give the tracks a little more of the feel of whatever they happen to be into at the time (70s disco or French House etc.) à la Madonna with The Immaculate Collection (when she gave her songs more of a dance touch).
Yeah, I'm surprised Rihanna hasn't released one. Also, Mariah Carey hasn't since 2001, and she's had a lot of hits since then.
There's another group who haven't had one - Muse, and they've had a ton of hits. (And, yes, I'll be working on a Greatest Hits album tomorrow afternoon.)

After Ghost Stories is released, this tracklisting may well be changed...
Kate Bush is long overdue a (new) greatest hits, her one and only was released back in 1986.

I'm sure Kate would be a bit more inspired than to stick it all in chronological order though.
Greatest hits are kind of a thing of the past now though. People can just create their own playlists of an artist on Spotify or if they bother buying the albums on I tunes just create one of their own. But it's a good idea putting your ideas here as it gets people thinking of them

Ok, here's what I'd select then. I'd be including EP tracks as well.

I've kept the tracklisting to 13 songs to match up with the other discs. Coldplay have a lot of good b-sides/EP songs that I've had to leave off, therefore! It's a pity that they've seemingly stopped releasing bonus tracks with their singles. Still, they were extremely generous with them in the past!

I personally reckon Charlie Brown is their weakest single.
Ah I see. That's cool. I do agree with you about Politik though. Still think it's one of the best songs Chris Martin has ever written.
