Greatest Hits is Aerosmith's first standard "greatest hits" compilation album. It went multi-platinum and contained some of the hits that made the band an icon of the 1970s rock era. A few remastered versions of Greatest Hits appeared in the 1990s and are considered partly responsible for the band's popular rejuvenation during the decade.
Greatest Hits has gone on to become the band's bestselling album in the United States, achieving sales in excess of ten million copies. The band won a diamond award when the album's sales reached the ten million level in 2001.
