Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits is the first greatest hits album by American singer Christina Aguilera. Released on November 6, 2008 by RCA Records, the compilation contains Aguilera's hits from all of her studio albums released up to 2008. It also featured four new additions: two remakes of her previous singles—"Genie in a Bottle" (1999) and "Beautiful" (2002), and two original songs, "Keeps Gettin' Better" and "Dynamite". The compilation was released exclusively through Target retailer in the United States.
Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits was reviewed favorably by music critics, who praised her musical career over her first decade entering the music industry. The compilation debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and has sold over 530,000 copies in the US. Additionally, it entered the top ten record charts of multiple countries and achieved several certifications. Its only single "Keeps Gettin' Better" debuted within the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. To promote the album, Aguilera performed at the American Music Awards of 2008 and the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
In September 2008, it was announced that Aguilera would release a greatest hits album titled Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits, whose distribution rights in the United States belonged to Target retailer via her record label RCA Records. On the compilation's title, Aguilera said: "I'm looking forward to the next 10 years, which is partly why I named the album, Keeps Gettin' Better, 'cause it does". People who pre-ordered the compilation would receive a free digital download version of the single "Keeps Gettin' Better". During an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Aguilera explained that Target "got such a great creative team", and that's why she worked with the retailer for the album. Released in November 2008, Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits features all of Aguilera's hits from her previous studio albums released up to 2008 and four new songs produced by Linda Perry. Two of which are remakes of her previous singles, "Genie 2.0" ("Genie in a Bottle"), and "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)" ("Beautiful"). The other new songs were "Keeps Gettin' Better" and "Dynamite". The new material is inspired by electropop, which was deemed as Lady Gaga-influenced by a reviewer from Rolling Stone.
