"Greatest Hits" is a compilation album by Christian-pop singer Amy Grant, released on October 2, 2007 (see 2007 in music). It is her first career-spanning collection, and was released by EMI CMG, Grant's new record label, to mark the start of her contract with them. It does not contain new songs, but the record label did remaster all of her songs. As with her first hits album, "The Collection", the songs are arranged in reverse chronological order.

There is a special edition of the album that contains a bonus DVD as well.

Notably missing from the collection are Grant's hits "The Next Time I Fall" (a duet with Peter Cetera), and her version of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi".

Promotion

Grant promoted the hits album on her website using her vlog section, "Simple Things". There are two videos used in promotion of the album. One is Grant playing acoustic guitar on an acoustic performance of her hit "Baby Baby", filmed at her house.

The other video has Grant showing many copies of the album around her house in various places such as by her alarm clock and by her pictures, while the acoustic "Baby Baby" is playing in the background. Towards the end of the video, Grant takes out copies of the liner notes from the washing machine, and also brings out copies of the album from the microwave oven.
