Helen Reddy's Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy. It was released in 1975 by Capitol Records.
On December 5, 1975, the Recording Industry Association of America awarded the album with Gold certification for sales of 500,000 copies in the United States, and both Platinum and Double Platinum certifications were issued on February 5, 1992.[5] The album debuted on Billboard's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated the day following Gold certification, December 6, 1975, and made it to number five during its 51 weeks there.[6] In Canada's RPM magazine it reached number 9,[7] and on the album chart in the UK (where it was renamed The Best of Helen Reddy) it matched its number five US showing.[8]
In 1987 an expanded edition that was given the title Helen Reddy's Greatest Hits (And More) was the first release of the original compilation on compact disc,[9] and on April 14, 1997, that edition was reissued with the title Love Songs.[10]
