Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was released on 14 September 2001 by Sanctuary Records. The album features Tyler's major career hits and one of her latest recordings from the time, "Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts".

Tyler had a photoshoot directed by Paul Cox, who was photographer for her 1995 album Free Spirit.[1] [2]
The album includes one of Tyler's latest recordings from the time of release, "Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts". The song was written by Jim Steinman and Andrew Lloyd Webber and originally recorded for the concept album for the 1996 musical Whistle Down the Wind. Tyler performed the song live at Webber's 50th birthday celebration at the Royal Albert Hall in London, 1998.[3]
Greatest Hits was given three and a half stars out of five from AllMusic. They stated that, "As long as it has "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "It's a Heartache", "Faster Than the Speed of Night" and "Holding Out for a Hero" on it, any Bonnie Tyler compilation is going to earn a few stars, and this collection from Sanctuary is no exception."[4]
