Enigma is the first and only time in her career she ever did some sort of retrospective project. She has hundreds of unreleased songs she could choose from for future releases, and yet she always wants to come up with new material. I love the Enigma set list. It has all her biggest hits plus cuts from her other albums that are as good as the singles. It have a playlist of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 44,046 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It may not be necessary to put a greatest hits album out for streaming purposes but...  It can make sense to do it if they wanna make an era out of it  Say like a greatest hits tour  Basically what Cher does every time she does her "last farewell tour" with a few songs from a new album slapped on to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been doing it since ARTPOP. The VMA performance of Applause literally had her changing into all of her previous iconic looks. Superbowl. Reaction, while positive, to the JWT en masse was that it felt like a greatest hits show. As did Enigma. Also keep in mind she consistently plays all of her previous hit singles in full versus medleys, making way for all of the new music. There's a reason that around Superbowl timeframe the media started to refer to her as a legacy act. I love the old music, sure, but she should stop hammering in the biggest hits of her past and start focusing on the new material, successful or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply saying that her "looking back" and holding onto elements from the heights of her commerical success isn't something new. She's been doing it for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been doing it for a while. You can’t expect a pop star not to perform her biggest hits at her shows... What you are also not mentioning is that she basically sings 90% of her newest album on its corresponding tour. On some dates, it can go up to 100%. She’s making every track shine, not just the singles. She’s hardly relying on old material only. No more than any other artist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicisfreedom 5,837 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 The only greatest hits albums i really listen to is The Immaculate Collection (Madonna) and Les Mots (Mylène Farmer), but i do like to have them in my collection regardless, so yes i miss them. I've never been a playlist type of person though, I've always preferred a full body of work like albums Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
