The Greatest Hits album by Martina McBride contained 13 hits including "Independence Day," and "I Love You."

It has been certified triple platinum and as of March 2007 the album has sold 2.9 million copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan becoming her best selling album to date. The album also spawned four new hits, "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues," "Where Would You Be," "Concrete Angel," and "Blessed."
