When does a singer decide to put out a greatest hits album?

When the company that owns the rights to enough of the artist's song and believes that such a record will sell.  Time is sometimes irrelevant...

Don't worry this is a good sign! With all bands of this sort, a greatest hits does not bode well for their future and judging by publicity they have had recently (i.e. members making derisory coments about their management and the sort of shows they were formed on) I wouldn't at all be surprised if we didn't hear their next concerts will be the farewell gigs. Chanced upon a tv show a while back where they were all making it pretty clear they were fed up of being filmed and were so ungrateful for the chances they had been given that hopefully, we won't be subjected to their manufacured tartiness for too much longer.

I liked her a few of the songs on her solo album so I wouldn't mind if she made another. however,  I love the music that No Doubt makes and think they should stick together even if she does do another solo album.  Why can't she do both?

Well, there are numerous way to go about this...\n\n1: Once an album is completed, the artists and the producer(s) select what songs will become singles. You then mail copies of the singles to radio stations. In turn, the radio stations choose which songs they are willing to air.\n\n2: A web campaign is a brilliant idea. If you or your record label have the money, try advertising on websites that appeal to the same demographic as your music does.\n\n3: Tour! Tour! Tour! This is the most important aspect of your marketing. If people like you on stage, they WILL buy your music. Hire a tour manager and constantly be looking for music festivals to perform at.\n\n4: If somehow, by magic, you are able to get Paul McCartney to collaborate on a song, exploit it! But if you can't, stick to writing good music and believe in yourself.

Hello, no I would not buy any songs recorded by Hilton. Or any products with the Hilton name on it. I haven't heard her sing and actually don't care to. Yes it is time for her to quit trying make something out of herself that's not going to happen.

Basically, the woman singer Marie Fredriksson announced that she plans to release a new album in May 2006 (My best friend). An album of classic tracks from her years growing up. Roxette fans rejoiced, but nevertheless, many were disappointed with the fact fredriksson doesn't want to work too hard on new Roxette projects, instead, she prefers to do her own solo work.

They are in the process of trying to get one out. They been having problems with their record label. But they should have one out if not this year, next year.

Yup great fan. I've almost all records, just missing some of the new things. Seen them lately with Paul Rodgers 4 times. But if you want to listen more than greatest hits, start listening the first albums.

she was the best selling artist of the 90s, so someone reckoned she could probably sell a few more, once she got her head sorted out. Plus she's a very presentable package and there would have been a curiosity factor re whether she was back to her best.  Not my taste, but major record deals are always commercial decisions.

He has said in interviews that he will.Plus he is releasing a Best of part II in autumn.He will surely do some promotional work for that.

Wow great Q,,thanks. As an old Wolf,,,faves  are hard to choose. In my world,,,if I was doing Karaeoke, I'd have to say,,, The more you drink,,,, the better I sound.\n\n   There is no true right answer though,,,we all have diff  opinions. And,,,, what makes a singer great, ,,beyond, style, voice, and delivery,,,, IS the SONG.\n\n    I don't judge artists but I do savor songs,,even from artists  I don't strictly enjoy.\n\n    What we feel, what has been expressed, that we relate to in any song, is the GLUE.\n\n    That said,,, I've heard hundreds of "Covers" that I disregard, even in the effort being valid.\n\n    I don't truly want to tag Faves... I just wanna know,,, that music makes me feel a flow.\n\nRev. Steven

If No Doubt release a next album, Gwen Stefani will definitely be involved.  She has said that she wanted to put out this second solo album and then she would get back together with No Doubt.  In the meantime, the guys in the band have gotten together to begin writing songs that will be collaborated with Gwen at a later date.\n\nHere is a link to more information provided by band member, Tom Dumont.

its not just that. when a famous (or not so famous) band comes out with a new song, it is OVERPLAYED!!! and ppl get real tired of it an the artist real quick. so its hard for them to make more than 5 "good" "big" hits...

Patrick Leonard\nBabyface\nPrince\n\n(to name a few)\n\nHowever, the vast majority of Madonna's songs are written by herself. She does not compose the music for them, whaich is wht she brings in strong producers and mixers to make each album unique.\n\nNice qustion!
