Greatest Hits (1998 Mötley Crüe album)

Greatest Hits is the second compilation album by American heavy metal band, Mötley Crüe. It was released on November 14, 1998 on Mötley/Hip-O.

Background
Tommy Lee recorded his drum tracks for the album's two new songs, the single "Bitter Pill" and "Enslaved" and then started a prison sentence of five months. Additionally, a remix version of "Glitter" is included. The tour for the album began after Lee's release from prison. It would be his last with the band before his return in 2004. The album excludes the John Corabi era.

The album is an updated version of the original compilation Decade of Decadence released in 1991, which is currently out of print. Its cover art features a caricature of the band by artist/designer Erik Casillas.

The compilation won a 1998 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for "Best Compilation." It also misses out on some other hits from Mötley Crüe, such as "Live Wire", "Piece of Your Action", and "Too Young to Fall in Love".

The original pressing is now out of print and in 2009, the album was reissued with "Enslaved", "Bitter Pill" and the "Glitter" remix excluded.

Charts
The album charted at number 20 on The Billboard 200. The compilation featured two newly recorded songs: "Enslaved" and the single "Bitter Pill" which charted at number 22 on the Mainstream rock charts.
