As offbeat as a crossword promotion might be in 2020, a greatest-hits album is nearly as unconventional. Long a lucrative way for artists and labels to round up the best-known songs in one spot, the concept has largely fallen by the wayside in the age of streaming and digital playlists.
Double vinyl LP pressing. 2020 collection, the first-ever official anthology of recordings from the iconic rock duo, Jack and Meg White, is an essential career-spanning collection highlighting 26 previously released songs. From late '90s flashes of brilliance through early 2000s underground anthems, masterful MTV Moon Man moments, Grammy-grabbing greatness, and worldwide stadium chants, the songs here are as wide-ranging as you can imagine. In an era of streaming where the idea of a Greatest Hits album may seem irrelevant that an act's most streamed songs are considered their de facto "hits" we wholeheartedly believe that great bands deserve Greatest Hits and that a large part of Third Man Records and The White Stripes' successes have been built on zigging when the rest of the music business is zagging.

As one of the greatest rock duos of all time, The White Stripes have been long overdue for a greatest hits album.
