September 14, 2012, Chart Watch by Paul Green.
The Beatles greatest hits album, #1s, from 2000, charged back into the Top Five in sales because of its digital release. As of 2012, it had sold a total of 11,821,000 copies in the United States
Nielsen Sound Scan's running list of all-time best-selling albums of all time has 27 greatest hits packages which is no surprise because of more bang for your buck. I especially like them and the collection hits albums like the old K-Tel ones.
There are only two in the top 200 by solo female artists, Celine Dion and Madonna.
Jimmy Buffett had only one Pop Top Ten, 1977's "Margaritaville." But his "greatest hits album "Songs You Know By Heart is in the Top Ten.
Three of the Top 200s were released in 1976: Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicles, Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and James Taylor's Greatest Hits.
