Album of the Week: The Eagles Greatest Hits

Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) is the first compilation album by the American rock band the Eagles, released by Asylum Records on February 17, 1976. It contains a selection of songs from the band's first four albums, which were released from 1972 to 1975. On the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, the album reached number one, where it stayed for five weeks.

The album has the distinction of being the first album to receive a Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) platinum certification, which was introduced in 1976 to recognize albums that ship at least one million copies in the United States. It was ranked number four on Billboard's year-end album chart for 1976, and has spent a total of 422 weeks on the Billboard 200 (as of September 2023).
