I would like to suggest that the title would be changed from Elton John's Greatest Hits to Greatest Hits (Elton John album). I know that the official title is "Greatest Hits." If you would like to discuss this, please leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.-- 67.54.187.27 ( talk) 20:30, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello. I think there is a source missing, concerning the amount of 32 million copies of the album sold worldwide. If we have the source for it we could think about adding this evidently missing album to List of best-selling albums :) Regards, Maciek Dennis lance ( talk) 10:54, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Elton John's Greatest Hits →
Greatest Hits (Elton John album) – The title is only listed as "Elton John's Greatest Hits" on the labels of the original 1974 vinyl and cassette releases. But people look at the album cover for the title before they look at the label on the record or cassette inside, and the cover for all vinyl, cassette and CD releases worldwide clearly state the album title as "Greatest Hits" only: there is no possessive "'s" and the words "Elton John" and "Greatest Hits" are in different colours and set apart from each other, indicating the artist and official album title, respectively. The various later CD releases of the album simply call it "Greatest Hits" on the disc:
Billboard and
AllMusic both call the album "Greatest Hits", as does the entry for the album on the
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and all officially recognised chart books such as
British Hit Singles & Albums (for example, see page 285 of the 19th edition, 2006). The only place I can find where the album is still called "Elton John's Greatest Hits" is
the entry on the UK Official Charts Company website, but then again it doesn't show the correct album cover for the entry on its website either (the cover shown is that for
Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II). The title of the article should therefore be changed in line with the generally accepted name for this record.

Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources)". Since the requested move nomination shows that the album is commonly referred to as Greatest Hits, we should title the article accordingly. — sparklism hey! 12:58, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
