The Best of Brandy
''The Best of Brandy'' is the first compilation album by American recording artist Brandy Norwood. Completing her contract with Atlantic Records after eleven years with the company, it was released in March and April 2005 on most international music markets, marking her final release with the label. The album comprises nearly all of her singles released between the years of 1994 and 2004, compiling her first four studio albums ''Brandy'' (1994), ''Never Say Never'' (1998), ''Full Moon'' (2002) and ''Afrodisiac'' (2004), as well as songs she contributed to film soundtracks such as ''Waiting to Exhale'' (1995) and ''Set It Off'' (1996). While it features no original material, the greatest hits disc contains rare tracks such as a 1995 cover of Michael Jackson's "Rock with You," her international single "Another Day in Paradise" and the single remix of "U Don't Know Me (Like U Used To)."
''The Best of Brandy'' was appreciated by contemporary critics who noted the creativity of Norwood's back-catalogue.〔 It debuted at number 27 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart, selling about 26,000 units in its opening week, and became a top thirty success in Australia and the United Kingdom.〔 In international territories, the second US single from ''Afrodisiac'', "Who Is She 2 U" was released as a single in support of ''The Best of Brandy''.
==Background==
On November 1, 2004, four months after the release of her fourth studio album with Atlantic Records, Brandy's publicist Courtney Barnes announced that the singer had requested and was granted an unconditional release from her recording contract with the music label, her record company since 1994, as Norwood was at "a place where (wants ) some change in her life () wanted to move on" musically.〔 Brandy was subsequently asked to complete her contract with the release of a greatest hits collection, a plan which she considered a true compliment and showcase for her development as a recording artist over ten years. "I'm really proud of it," Brandy said about the compilation album the following year. "When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with. The album is a celebration of me being in the industry for so long, and I'm still going."〔 In addition, Norwood declared her satisfaction with the conclusion of her Atlantic era: "I just thought it was a great idea – to put 18 songs together of the best of everything that I’ve done made me feel really good. And also, it is giving me a reason to move on from everything I’ve done. I’m excited about putting it out and also putting it behind me."
