Of interest, of these artists, 19 did not have another Top Ten Hit after the release of their greatest hits album.  So, it can be said that when you release your greatest hits album, that is pretty much the end of your hit-making career.

More interesting stuff:  These artists with other albums in the Top 200:  Madonna, 15; Aerosmith, 6; Eagles, 5; and Eric Clapton with 2.
