Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. It was released on June 21, 2024, by Legacy Records to support Lavigne's eighth concert tour, the Greatest Hits Tour. [1] The album includes twenty songs spanning Lavigne's music career since her debut in 2002. [2]
On May 10, 2024, Lavigne announced her plans to release a greatest hits album. [3] On the same day, she posted on social media, stating, "Can't do a greatest hits tour without a greatest hits album", and revealed the album cover, track listing and release date. [4] The album is intended to accompany her eighth concert tour, the Greatest Hits Tour, which commences on May 22, 2024, in Vancouver. [5] [6] The album features 20 songs spanning Lavigne's career, and it includes contributions from Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly, and Blackbear. [7] Greatest Hits is available on 12" vinyl, CD, and digital formats. The physical formats will feature album packaging with new photographs and a "personal note from [Lavigne] to her fans". [8]
Coinciding with the release of Greatest Hits, Lavigne received several multi-platinum awards from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for several of her songs in the United States, [9] which are also the first four tracks featured on the compilation. Lavigne earned a three-times platinum certification (3 million) for " Sk8er Boi". " Girlfriend", notably, has received a seven-times platinum award, signifying 7 million in US units (downloads and streaming equivalents). Lavigne also earned four-times platinum awards (4 million) for " What the Hell" and " Complicated". [9] Throughout the release day, new certifications were awarded for other songs included on the album, including: two-times platinum for " My Happy Ending" and " Here's to Never Growing Up" and " When You're Gone", and platinum for " Smile". [10] These new certifications joined her previously awarded platinum singles, which are also featured on the album, including " I'm with You", " Keep Holding On", and " Head Above Water". [10]
The Grammys described Lavigne as the "Motherf—in' Princess of Pop-Punk", [11] and "one of the primary artists driving the pop-punk explosion of the 2000s. Featuring hits from ' Complicated' to ' Bite Me,' the list highlights how Lavigne broadened her sights beyond the genre she'd helped pioneer." The publication notes that Greatest Hits spans "more than two decades, seven albums, and nearly two dozen hits on the Billboard Hot 100." Her songs "explored everything from power pop to confessional alt-rock to Christian rock", and "when pop-punk's second wave hit at the start of the 2020s, Lavigne made a triumphant return." Ultimately, they describe her as an "artist whose legacy is forever cemented in the pop-punk history books." [11]
In Japan, Greatest Hits debuted at number seven on the Oricon Album chart with 5,022 units sold on its first week. [12] On Oricon's Digital Albums chart the album debuted at number ten with 382 digital copies sold in its first week. [13]
