Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits package released by American country music singer Martina McBride. In addition to chronicling the greatest hits of her career at the time, it also contained the song "Strangers," which Martina decided to put onto the album despite it never being a single; she felt that given the chance, it would have been a hit, and that over the years, it had become a fan favorite. In the U.S. the album was certified Gold on 10/26/2001, Platinum on 4/10/2002, 2x Platinum on 1/23/2003 and 3x Platinum on 3/6/2004 by the R.I.A.A. The album also spawned four new hits, "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues," "Where Would You Be," "Concrete Angel," and "Blessed." The album peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200, her highest ranking peak position on the chart at the time. It also became her first album to hit #1 on the country albums chart.
