''Greatest'' is a Greatest Hits Compilation Album released in 1998 by the band Duran Duran . CD ''Greatest'' was an update of the ''. The new release featured songs from their eponymous debut album, right up to 1997 . The album was released by EMI after parting ways with the band after the disastrous '' Medazzaland '' album release in 1997, and marked the first of many releases designed to capitalise on the band's extensive EMI-controlled back catalogue. To coincide with the release of the ''Greatest'' album in the United Kingdom , the song " Electric Barbarella " was released as a single. This track was originally released as a single in North America in 1997 to promote the '' Medazzaland '' album (which was never released in the UK). To date, a full collection of Duran Duran's singles on one album still hasn't been released. Track listing # " Is There Something I Should Know?

The collection was not released on DVD at the time, probably due to the band's disintegrating relationship with Capitol Records .
