The Greatest Hits
Whitney Houston
Whitney: The Greatest Hits is a two‑disc compilation that chronicles the first 15 years of Whitney Houston’s career, released by Arista Records on May 15, 2000. Spanning recordings from 1983 through early 2000, it runs close to two and a half hours and collects nearly all of her major hits along with a handful of rarities and newly recorded tracks. The set is structured in two distinct halves: Disc 1, titled Cool Down, presents her ballads in (mostly) their original album or single versions in chronological order—songs such as “You Give Good Love,” “Saving All My Love for You,” “Greatest Love of All,” “Run to You,” “I Have Nothing,” “I Will Always Love You,” “I Believe in You and Me,” and “My Love Is Your Love.”
Disc 2, Throw Down, focuses on her up‑tempo material but mostly in remixed form, recasting hits like “How Will I Know,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “I’m Your Baby Tonight,” “It’s Not Right but It’s Okay,” and “I’m Every Woman” as club‑oriented dance tracks by prominent remixers such as Junior Vasquez, David Morales, and Jonathan Peters. The compilation also adds four then‑new songs—“Same Script, Different Cast” with Deborah Cox, “Could I Have This Kiss Forever” with Enrique Iglesias, “If I Told You That” with George Michael, and solo track “Fine”—all released as singles and later fan favorites. While some critics and fans criticized the heavy use of remixes on the second disc, the collection was still a major commercial success, debuting at number five on the Billboard 200, reaching the top 10 in over 20 countries, and eventually selling over 10 million copies worldwide, solidifying its status as the definitive snapshot of Houston’s imperial‑era hits.
