Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits

''Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits'' is the first greatest hits album by Olivia Newton-John released in 1977. In some regions, this followed the 1974 compilation, '' First Impressions'' and therefore titled as ''Greatest Hits Vol. 2''.

The album collected all of Newton-John's American Top 40 singles released between 1971 and 1977. "Changes" was the only track not released as a single, but it was one of Newton-John's first self-written songs that she recorded. The album was Newton-John's first platinum certification peaking No. 13 Pop and No. 7 Country. It ended up being certified double Platinum in the US and Platinum in the UK and Canada, and also Gold in Hong Kong. The LP sold 133,660 and the cassette 27,150 copies in Japan.

Reception

'' Cash Box'' magazine called it "An excellent and well-rounded introduction to Olivia's work".
