Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by Japanese Co-ed Group Gosei5ive.

In other countries, the songs were released as separate singles. The songs was included in the previous album Kingsize 2.0 (2014).

The album features thirteen of the group's fifteen singles, excluding "Forever Blue", and the international-only release "Take a Chance on Me", as well as two popular B-sides, two brand new remixes, and the original track, "This Year", which was recorded during the Kingsize 2.0 album sessions. The album peaked at number nine on the JPN Albums Chart, as well as being certified platinum by the BPI. The album was executively produced by Simon Cowell and Richard "Biff" Stannard.

Background
Despite Kingsize 2.0 only being released three years earlier, Greatest Hits was rush-released due to the imminent split of the group. Alongside the release of the album, a DVD compilation containing all of the band's music videos, as well as behind the scenes footage, and the previously unreleased music video for "That's What (It's All About)". The band's last ever British single, "Singled Out", was used to promote the compilation in Japan, featuring footage from across the group's history.

The Japanese version of the album does not include B-side "Listen To My Heart", but instead re-instates one of the missing singles, "Take a Chance on Me", and also includes a bonus remix of "Mamma Mia" that does not appear on any other version of the release. The album was re-released on 7 July 2018.[5] The album made a return to the top ten of UK Albums Chart in 2019.
