Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the Swedish group Ace of Base. It was the North American counterpart to the international album, Singles of the 90s. Greatest Hits was released by Arista Records in April of 2000, fulfilling their contractual obligations with the group and ending their relationship. Compared to its international counterpart, the album is considered to be rather inferior by fans of the group.

It contained a track error on "The Sign" and only one new track, "C'est La Vie (Always 21)", which was also featured on Singles Of The 90s along with two other new tracks. A remix of the song, "Everytime It Rains", was released to US radio outlets in March of 2000 as the only form of promotion for the album. The song failed to gain airplay and, with no additional promotion, the album failed to enter the Billboard U.S. album charts, selling fewer than 5,000 copies in its week of release. It was the first Ace of Base album to fail to chart.
