Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by American singer Linda Ronstadt, released on December 1, 1976 through Asylum. It includes material from both her Capitol Records and Asylum Records output, and goes back to 1967 for The Stone Poneys' hit "Different Drum." It remains the biggest-selling album of Ronstadt's career, being certified seven times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in America alone, with 1.87 million units consumed after 1991 when SoundScan started tracking sales. It peaked at No. 6 on the main Billboard album chart and also reached No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, where it remained for over three years. The album was criticized by the Rolling Stone Record Guide for being "premature," as Ronstadt continued to have record-breaking mainstream successes for many years following this release. By the time this collection came out, however, Ronstadt had already been recording hit records for a decade, and there were many examples of other artists releasing greatest hits albums much sooner, such as Elvis Presley.
