20 Golden Greats is a 1977 compilation album by Diana Ross & the Supremes, released on the Motown label in the United Kingdom, which spent seven weeks at number one on the UK album charts. Despite the album's title, the compilation included two tracks that had never been hit singles in the UK: "My World Is Empty Without You" and "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart". All the other 18 tracks had made the UK singles chart. BPI awarded this album with a platinum disc to commemorate sales in the UK of more than £1,000,000 worth of the album. Motown expanded the track list to include hits from the Supremes after Ross left the trio in 1970, also including her solo work up to 1981 for the 1998 "40 Golden Motown Greats" CD. The same album artwork was used and this collection earned a gold disc for sales exceeding 100,000 copies.
