The Greatest Hits Collection is the first greatest hits compilation album by the American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It was released in 1997 (see 1997 in country music) on Arista Nashville, and it chronicles the greatest hits from their first four studio albums: 1991's Brand New Man, 1993's Hard Workin' Man, 1994's Waitin' on Sundown and 1996's Borderline. The album also includes three new tracks, two of which were released as singles: "Honky Tonk Truth" and "He's Got You", which respectively reached No. 3 and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. In 2004, a sequel The Greatest Hits Collection II was released, but is currently out of print.
The album was certified 4×Platinum by the RIAA on July 21, 2005. It has sold 4,597,500 copies in the United States as of February 2017.
The cover depicts the duo's longhorn symbol in tan yellow on a black background. On the inside, the CD tray shows a bull skull, painted red, white & blue and with a star on the top, which forms the Texas flag. The horns on the skull are still brown. The album even depicts barbwires right next to the skull as well as on the back cover where the track listing is, on the CD, and on the first page of the album's booklet. The same can be found on the out of print 2004 compilation The Greatest Hits Collection II, although the background is white, the typeface is in gold and it is more difficult to see the longhorn symbol and excludes the barbwires and the bull skull.
