The White Stripes Greatest Hits[8] (also referred to as My Sister Thanks You and I Thank You: The White Stripes Greatest Hits[9]) is the first compilation album by the White Stripes, released through Third Man Records on December 4, 2020. The album comprises 26 songs from all six of the band's studio albums, including two songs originally released on standalone singles.[9]

Background

The album is the band's first compilation in their history, and first non-live or non-video release since dissolving in 2011. It was announced on October 6, with a statement from the band's record label reading (in part): "We get that the idea of 'Greatest Hits' may seem irrelevant in the era of streaming, but we also wholeheartedly believe that great bands deserve a 'Greatest Hits'".[10]
