Busome pre-owned CDs from private sellers on Amazon. The world is your oyster as they say.
Tesco often do cheap compilation CDs too. |

Depends what kind of music you're into I guess. But Pet Shop Boys PopArt is pretty much an essential. Destinys Child's, Sugababes and Girls Aloud's greatest hits are all very good too. The latter you can get as a deluxe version with some unheard songs on.

Bjork - Greatest Hits (the singles collection, as mentioned above) is awesome but it's very long.
Tracy Chapman - Collection I'm not sure if these will be your thing, but worth a try: Radiohead - The Best Of Skunk Anansie - Smashes and Trashes Prodigy - Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005 |

I had Madonna's 2 disc edition of Celebration arrive today.
I'd never have said that I was a fan before, but she has a brilliant tracklisting for this GH album

I'd also recommend No Doubt, if you like their music. The Singles collection 1992-2002.

I also have Cher's Greatest Hits, Elvis Presley - The Essential Collection, Elton John: The Very Best, Abba: Gold and Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits. All worth listening to. |

Tears for Fears - Tears Roll Down
Pet Shop Boys - PopArt UB40 - The Very Best 1980-2000 More ABBA Gold (the lesser known hits tend be of higher quality than the smash hits on the other ABBA Gold, I feel) But definitely the Tears for Fears one. |

I've been listening to Recurring Dream - the Best of Crowded House recently. Practically ever song on it is a masterpiece in song writing - great stuff.

Britney Spears The Singles COllecton and My Perogative are worth checking out, both different listening experiences! Madonna's Immaculate COllection is a fantastic collection! Led Zeppelin Mothership is brilliant Kate Bush's The WHole Story too

It's a bit of a mess. Ok for a casual fan, but Madonna needs a better "Greatest Hits" |

There's the Beatles Red and Blue Albums, first one covers 1962-1966 and the second one covers 1967-1970. Both have all their hit singles, plus other non-single tracks such as Yesterday and A Day In The Life.
Also Carpenters Gold - there is a deluxe version which contains two cds containing their well known songs and lesser known tracks, plus a dvd containing videos of their singles. Wingspan - 2 cds containing stuff Paul McCartney did after the break up of the Beatles, with Wings and solo up until mid 80s, first cd contains all the hits, second cd contains well known tracks off the albums. |
