I count at least 11 compilations on AllMusic ( https://www.allmusic.com/artist/eagles-mn0000144847/discography/compilations ) purporting to be the greatest or best hits of the Eagles. The first one does seem to be the best selling album, which suggests that maybe we should use a new truth-in-labeling standard for album titles, e.g. "The Most Profitable Hits of ____" or "Not Really The Best Work of _____, But You Hear These Crappy Songs Every Time You Listen to Classic Rock Stations" or "Songs by _____ Most Likely to Show Up on Karaoke Night."
