Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released in 1992. It contains nineteen singles from her first four studio albums Kylie, Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let's Get to It, as well as three new songs recorded specifically for inclusion on this album. The album was largely written and produced by the team, and its release marked the end of Minogue's professional relationship with them. It contained all her single releases to date including the Japan-only single, "Turn It into Love", featured on Kylie's first studio album in 1988.
Greatest Hits entered the UK Albums Chart at number one, becoming Minogue's third number-one album in the United Kingdom. It charted there for ten weeks and was later certified platinum for shipments of 300,000 copies. The album was also successful in Australia, debuting and peaking at number three and charting for fifteen weeks. It was later certified platinum for shipments exceeding 70,000 copies, by Australian Recording Industry Association.
The album was re-released in 2002, remastered, to celebrate not only ten years since its original release, but also fifteen years since her first single. For the re-release, there were two discs. Disc one included her early hits from the late '80s and early '90s, whereas the second disc featured remixes of some of her biggest hits, including the Techno Rave Remix of "Celebration (Kool & the Gang song)". The tracks on disc one are in different order and the album cover is different. There were two extra songs included. "Made in Heaven", released with "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" in 1988 and a B-side called "Say the Word – I'll Be There", originally featured on the "Word Is Out" single in 1991.
