〕 }} ''Greatest Hits'' is the first greatest hits album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released in 1992. It contains nineteen singles from her first four studio albums ''Kylie'', ''Enjoy Yourself'', ''Rhythm of Love'' and ''Let's Get to It'', as well as three new songs recorded specifically for inclusion on this album. The album was largely written and produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman team, and its release marked the end of Minogue's professional relationship with them. It contained all her single releases to date including the Japan only single, "Turn It into Love", featured on Kylie's first studio album in 1988. ''Greatest Hits'' entered the UK Albums Chart at number-one, becoming Minogue's third number-one album in the United Kingdom. It charted there for ten weeks and was later certified platinum for shipments of 300,000 copies. The album was also successful in Australia, debuting and peaking at number three and charting for fifteen weeks. It was later certified platinum for shipments exceeding 70,000 copies, by Australian Recording Industry Association. The album was re-released in 2002, remastered, to celebrate not only ten years since its original release, but also fifteen years since her first single. For the re-release, there were two discs. Disc one included her early hits from the late '80s and early '90s, whereas the second disc featured remixes of some of her biggest hits, including the Techno Rave Remix of "Celebration (Kool & the Gang song)". The tracks on disc one are in different order and the album cover is different. There were two extra songs included. "Made in Heaven", released with "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" in 1988 and a b-side called "Say The Word - I'll Be There", originally featured on the "Word Is Out" single in 1991. This compilation was superseded by 2004's ''Ultimate Kylie'' collection, with only seven tracks not being included on that 2-CD set. ==Background== The album was promoted with two singles, "What Kind of Fool (Heard All That Before)" and "Celebration", originally a hit for Kool & The Gang in 1980. In Australia, the album was released with completely different artwork and was available as a limited edition digi-pack. A limited edition was also available in Australia with the ''Kylie's Non-Stop History 50+1'' remix album as a bonus disc and the original album was later re-issued again with the original UK artwork in 1998. Unlike the rest of the tracks, "Shocked" is featured in its single form. Whereas "The Loco-Motion", "What Do I Have to Do" and "Finer Feelings", although receiving remix treatment for single release, are apparent in their original album versions. It is unknown as to why the correct single versions were excluded from the original release. In the 2009 iTunes re-release, the single versions of the tracks have been put in place of the album versions, including a rare single version of "It's No Secret" put in place of the original album version. The album was re-issued again in 2011 with an altered tracklist for the South African leg of Kylie's Aphrodite World Tour.
