Can't Remember To Forget You (ft Shakira)
Take Care (ft Drake)
Love The Way You Lie (ft Eminem)
The Monster (ft Eminem)
Live Your Life (ft T.I.)
Run This Town (ft Jay-Z and Kanye West)
Fly (ft Nicki Minaj)
All Of The Lights (ft Kanye West & Kid Cudi)
If I Never See Your Face Again (ft Maroon 5)

The order might be a bit random, but I picked her biggest hits and a few lesser-known hits. The new songs would be all on the first disc.

Dumdedumdum · 15/04/14 - 15:18

Greatest Hits albums can harm a career but Rihanna's discography is really strong now, her album-a-year (ish) strategy is working out for her. I think in another year she'll deliver a killer tour as well. She only needs 3-4 hits per album plus a couple of high profile .feat. spots to keep relevant and build up a 3 Disc GH collection. I'm glad she doesn't take the position of credibility = writing your own stuff, her collaborations / guest spots show what a talented vocalist she is. Her vocal tone fits Eminem songs very well. This is where she's carved a niche I feel.

Not necessarily overdue but 1D are contracted to deliver a GH after two more albums (which could move to 1 more if they fold by then). I think they will have to do two discs - one of their early power pop & slushy ballads and the second of the pop-rock/folk/D&B sound they've moved towards. Looking at the list it's nice there won't be a tonne of covers or re-mixes. Of their current discography - and based on their Take Me Home and rumoured Where We Are tour setlists - I think it will go something like:

Disc 1:
What Makes You Beautiful
One Thing
Gotta Be You
More Than This
I Would / Loved You First / She's Not Afraid
C'mon, C'mon (live version)
Little Things
If they want to please fans then a live version of They Don't Know About Us
Last First Kiss (live version)
Moments
Summer Love
Live While We're Young
One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks) - (could move to Disc 2 or not be in)
Rock Me (live version) (could move to Disc 2)
Kiss You
Best Song Ever

Disc 2:
Story Of My Life
Midnight Memories
Don't Forget Where You Belong
Better Than Words / Through The Dark
You & I (could move to Disc 1)
Happily (could move to Disc 1)
Little White Lies / Why Don't We Go There
4th album songs x 4
5th album song x 4
New songs x 2

Or a Disc 3 with a few songs from 4th & several of 5th albums + new songs. I expect there will also be a repackaged DVD of live shows.

Marcusjll · 15/04/14 - 15:38

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.

Hav_mor91 · 15/04/14 - 15:50

Rihanna needs a concise collection like Madonna and the immaculate collection. A lot of singles listed are fan faves and moderate hits for me :

Umbrella
We Found Love
Only Girl
Don't Stop The Music
Diamonds
Disturbia
Sos
Pon De Replay
Rude Boy
S&M
Where Have You Been?
What's My Name
Take a Bow
Unfaithful
Russian roulette
Stay
New
New

Disc 2 (deluxe only):

Run This Town
Live Your Life
Who's That Chick
All Of The lights
Love The Way You lie
The Monster
Take Care
Can't Remember To Forget You

All her best and biggest without too much filler.

Also if she continues Katy Perry will have one heck of a GH so far:

I Kissed A Girl
Hot N Cold
thinking of you
waking up In vegas
California Gurls
Teenage Dream
Firework
E.t
Last Friday Night
The One That got away
part of me
wide awake
roar
unconditionally
dark horse

There are many different types of GH though

You have a singles collection which should contain all of the the singles (which was mine) or you have a best of, which The immaculate collection is

It can harm an act's career by making it look like they're past their peak. It also interrupts regular album releases and tours. I remember Texas being actively and vocally against their label releasing a greatest hits and hearing about execs threatening acts with them to keep them in line. Madonna did the right thing by calling her first GH The Immaculate Collection and then GHV2. Rihanna has a great discography now but she seems a bit too young? new? to release a GH. Maybe cleverer would be to do some sort of playlist on iTunes with a discount if you buy them all.

Whilst that is true a best of is a better reflection of her career as she has had as many misses as hits and TBH having a concise 16 track retrospective of all her biggest is much better and is a gateway for future fans to look back at her albums that contain her hits and more.

Would maybe put Love On Top on disc one ... But I would buy that

gelbma0991 · 15/04/14 - 20:51

I know she's been a bit off the radar for her past 'proper' album, but Leona Lewis could easily have one if you included her singles and popular tracks, and had a new track or two. I thought it'd be good to have the title as one word to fit in with the rest of her studio albums, and also she had a mini-documentary called "Echo: A Reflection of Sound" so I used that for the title

Leona Lewis - Reflection

01. Bleeding Love
02. Better in Time
03. Collide
04. I Got You
05. I Will Be
06. Happy
07. Hurt
08. Trouble
09. Fireflies
10. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
11. Come Alive (instead of Lovebird, since she clearly hated that song haha)
12. Footprints in the Sand
13. Run
14. New Track
15. New Track

Bonus Tracks / Deluxe tracks

16. Forgive Me
17. New Uptempo
18. A Moment Like This
19. Come Alive (Acoustic)
20. Run (Radio One Live Lounge)
21. One More Sleep (As a Christmas bonus track)

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.

Hey there!
