Greatest Hits is Craig David's first greatest hits album and was released on 24 November 2008.[1] It contains three new songs, "Where's Your Love", "Insomnia" and "Just My Imagination" (unrelated to the track on his 2010 album). "Officially Yours" and "Unbelievable" are the only two singles previously released by David not to feature on the album.

The album peaked at number 48 in the UK, thus becoming David's lowest-charting album to date. It received a Silver certification from the BPI.[2] In 2016, after the release of Following My Intuition, it rose to a new peak of number 28 after entering the top 40 for the first time.[3]

BBC Music said of the album...

Serving as a reminder to the songs Craig had in the early 2000s (decade), this Greatest Hits is at very least a fun listen. Craig David was a great pop star, who simply needs to take some time to rediscover his love of music and win back the hearts of the nation.
