The White Stripes Greatest Hits [10] (also referred to as My Sister Thanks You and I Thank You: The White Stripes Greatest Hits [11]) is a compilation album by the White Stripes, released through Third Man Records in America on December 4, 2020 (internationally in February 2021). [12] The album comprises 26 songs from all six of the band's studio albums, including two songs originally released on standalone singles. [11] On December 22, 2020, the band released an accompanying yule log video; a 90-minute animation directed by Noah Sterling featuring the artwork of Blue J. [13] [14]
The album is the band's only compilation in their history, and only 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'". [15]
