Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by American country music artist Mark Chesnutt. It features ten hits from his first four studio albums: 1990's Too Cold at Home, 1992's Longnecks & Short Stories, 1993's Almost Goodbye, and 1994's What a Way to Live, as well as the newly recorded tracks "It's a Little Too Late" and "Let It Rain". Both of these tracks were released as singles in 1996, peaking at #1 and #8, respectively, on the Hot Country Songs charts. The album itself earned RIAA platinum certification.[2]
