Both of Avril's pop-rock contemporaries P!nk and Kelly Clarkson have released their own greatest hits albums this decade. Both yielded hits with P!nk even having a #1. Greatest hits are a good way to widen ones fanbase by acting as an introduction to ones discography. It could be argued they are irrelevant now due to digital downloads/streaming, although singers still do have successful greatest hits albums. If Avril were to release one, it could help reintroduce some of her older hits causing more hype for the next era. With this in mind, do you think Avril should release a greatest hits album? If so, when do you think so?

A greatest hits album with a track list like this: 1. Complicated 2. Girlfriend 3. Here's To Never Growing Up 4. My Happy Ending 5. Sk8er Boi 6. Rock N Roll 7. When You're Gone 8. Nobody's Home 9. Let Me Go 10. I'm With You 11. Bas Reputation 12. Keep Holding On 13. Fly ... I'm not sure i would bother buying it I think that she doesn't have that kinda discography of hits that it would sell very much, sadly. Maybe if she makes a couple completely new singles to promote it, possibly it can work. If she's to release one i said now. By the end of 2016. Fans are starving from some activity from her. Others might get interested. And it could work as a "distraction" until she possibly release a ep/album. But I'm not sure.

I think it's time for her to release one simply because she has been in the industry so long. And she has a decent amount of hits that it could work IMO like:
1. Complicated 2. Sk8er Boi 3. I'm With You 4. Don't Tell Me 5. My Happy Ending 6. Keep Holding On 7. Girlfriend 8. When You're Gone 9. Hot 10. Alice 11. What the Hell 12. Smile 13. Wish You Were Here 14. How You Remind Me 15. Here's To Never Growing Up 16. Let Me Go 17. Hello Kitty 18. Fly
I wouldn't buy it though unless there were a few new songs on it. That is also what Kelly and Pink did (and what most artists do) when they released their GH.

I think a GH album would be a good idea if she were to release it this year since, let's face it, we're not getting anything new from her any time soon. She could record two or three new songs for the album , with a lead single to promote it, and probably even do a small tour in the US. It could put her back on the spotlight and work as a kick off for her 6th album, let's say next year.
I have even thought about how the concept of the album could be. Her dressing outfits from all her previous album photoshoots. That'd be neat!
A good tracklist would be:
1- New song (lead and probably only single) 2- Complicated 3- Sk8er Boi 4- New song 5- My Happy Ending 6- Losing Grip 7- I'm With You 8- Girlfriend 9- Here's To Never Growing Up 10- New song 11- Don't Tell Me 12- When You're Gone 13- Hot 14- What The Hell 15- Wish You Were Here 16- Smile 17- Let Me Go 18- He Wasn't 19- Keep Holding On 20- Fly (Bonus Track)

GH always have new songs if the artist is still around to promote them so that fans will buy them even though they already have most of the songs. She could make it more of a singles collection than a greatest hits because she has plenty of singles even if they haven't all been big hits.
1. Complicated 2. Sk8er Boi 3. I'm With You 4. Losing Grip 5. Don't Tell Me 6. My Happy Ending 7. Nobody's Home 8.He Wasn't 9. Girlfriend 10. When You're Gone 11. Hot 12. The Best Damn Thing 13. What The Hell 14. Smile 15. Wish You Were Here 16. Here's To Never Growing Up 17. Rock N Roll 18. Let Me Go 19. Fly 20. New track 21. New track
And then they could add KHO in the American version for example since it was released there and Alice in the Japanese version since it was more successful there. Even just taking her biggest singles from each album she could have a fairly substantial GH. BUT I don't know how well it would sell amongst the general public right now since she's not well known any more.

No. I think Avril needs a new album, a lot of promo, new hits and then she can release a GH-album. She barely had any "hits" the last years, so I dont see a point in releasing a greatest hits album now. Spending many years in the business doesnt mean you should automatically do a GH-album imo.
I think a anniversary-version of LG would make more sense. Maybe with new production or acoustic-versions, or many include 2 new songs that didnt make it on the album.

the B-Sides of Let Go should be released (even though this is likely not possible, not owning the rights etc.) If it happened though I'd definitely buy it.

Why would we want the LG B-sides released when we have them already? I'd prefer we got unheard UMS-TBDT-GL-AL songs at this point.

Yeah, but It'd be better if they were officially released. Also it's even more unlikely B-Sides from her other albums would get released, mainly because they weren't nearly as successful as LG. Let Go still sells today and it is objectively her most iconic album.

Imo the reason why most of the people became an Avril fan in the past is her non-single songs. I mean, of course she had solid singles from her first 4 album but i believe that people would prefer a better quality album with good production, real insturments and better lyrics instead of Avril Singles Remastered or Avril Greatest hits

Why would we want the LG B-sides released when we have them already? I'd prefer we got unheard UMS-TBDT-GL-AL songs at this point. While this is true, the LG Bsides were leaked in very low quality. So having official versions would at least be better quality, even if we already have most of the songs. We recently found a few other LG cowrites that have never been released, so perhaps they would release some of the other songs we don't already have too.
