Overview edit
The track listing is composed of the band's most successful songs, featuring only the original line-up of Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil, and Nikki Sixx; songs from the albums Mötley Crüe and New Tattoo are not included, due to the absences of Neil and Lee. It is also the last album released by the band before their hiatus from 2015 to 2018.
Greatest Hits charted at No. 10 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart and No. 9 on the Top Independent Albums chart in Billboard magazine.[4]
