Saw this being done for Taylor on another forum and thought it’d be fun. You’re putting together your personal greatest hits album for Avril - whats the track list? Doesn’t have to be her actual hits, just your favourites/a mix!
I’ll do mine later cos I’ve just painted my nails and typing this intro was risky tbh

So much fun!!! But we should put a limit on the number of tracks otherwise people would come up with a 40-track-record 🤣
I would go with:
1. Complicated 2. Sk8r Boi 3. Girlfriend 4. What the Hell 5. Head Above Water 6. When You're Gone 7. Losing Grip 8. My Happy Ending 9. He Wasn't 10. Here's to Never Growing Up 11. Nobody's Home 12. Wish You Were Here 13. Don't Tell Me 14. I'm With You 15. We Are Warriors 16. Keep Holding On
I clearly opted for singles- but also only the iconic ones. I didn't put Devil or Smile for example, though I love them, because I think some songs are more iconic, have been featured in movies, tv series, they seem more Iconic to me.

Hahahah good point gabbox ! Let’s limit to 18 (leaves a few spare slots for a few different versions of Bad Reputation ... ) Mine would be: 1. Complicated 2. Sk8er Boi 3. Girlfriend 4. Head Above Water 5. I’m With You 6. Things I’ll Never Say 7. Fall To Pieces 8. Don’t Tell Me 9. My Happy Ending 10. Nobodys Home 11. Keep Holding On 12. Dumb Blonde 13. Runaway 14. 17 15. Tell Me It’s Over 16. Hush Hush 17. Crush 18. Remember When Tried to do at least one per album (forced a GL song in lol..) and a mix of her iconic songs and my favourites/ones that show her range a bit!

Don't Tell Me 12. My Happy Ending 13. Head Above Water 14. Things I'll Never Say 15. Losing Grip 16. He Wasn't 17. Alice 18. Tell Me It's Over Not in order, since I created a playlist and picked from the list of recommendations. They kind of range from most popular, greatest to moderate hits, personal to fan favorites, stuff like that. I think it's a decent list for fans and casuals alike

I would probably just be basic and include her hits since that's what I think of when I hear "Greatest Hits." My personal favorite songs are mostly deep cuts, so it wouldn't really be the same thing. I think including all her singles in chronological order would be the most logical way of doing it, but most labels would put the biggest hits towards the top, like probably Girlfriend first. To me the chronological order would be a cool way of showing how far Avril has come and how her music has evolved over the years.
1. Complicated 2. Sk8er Boi 3. I'm With You 4. Losing Grip 5. Mobile 6. Don't Tell Me 7. My Happy Ending 8. Nobody's Home 9. He Wasn't 10. Fall to Pieces 11. Keep Holding On 12. Girlfriend 13. When You're Gone 14. Hot 15. The Best Damn Thing 16. Innocence 17. Alice 18. What the Hell 19. Smile 20. Wish You Were Here 21. Push 22. Bad Reputation 23. How You Remind Me 24. Here's to Never Growing Up 25. Rock n' Roll 26. Let Me Go 27. Hello Kitty 28. Give You What You Like 29. Fly 30. Head Above Water 31. Tell Me It's Over 32. Dumb Blonde 33. I Fell in Love with the Devil 34. We are Warriors 35. AL7 lead single

I always thought a really cool way of knowing what your "perfect" Avril album is is to compare each track side by side on each album, so like what is your ultimate favorite of all the track 1s, track 2s, etc. So mine would probably be like this:
1. Girlfriend 2. Complicated 3. Runaway 4. I'm With You 5. Mobile 6. Everything Back But You 7. Tomorrow 8. Crush 9. You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet 10. My World 11. Freak Out 12. Warrior 13. Hush Hush 14. Alice
If I were to truly make a playlist of favorites or deep cuts that other people should listen to, I think I would try to include some really offbeat stuff that is different from what she's known for, like her soul/Motown stuff, or songs she has written or produced by herself.

I challenged myself to keep the selection narrow and try to provide a release that is a balance between her greatest hits and some favorites as well as offering some musical variety, in chronological order as a celebration of her career:
1. Complicated 2. Sk8er Boi 3. I'm With You 4. Don't Tell Me 5. He Wasn't 6. My Happy Ending 7. Nobody's Home 8. Girlfriend 9. Runaway 10. When You're Gone 11. What The Hell 12. Darlin 13. Here's To Never Growing Up 14. Let Me Go 15. Hello Kitty 16. Hello Heartache 17. Head Above Water 18. Birdie And for the inevitable Deluxe Edition: 19. Bad Reputation (Extended Acoustic Version) 20. Hello Kitty (Pop Punk Version) I might be joking at the end there. Or not. I noticed that it's difficult to move away from singles for a greatest hits release. I guess that's because they're generally the strongest material and also tend to be "made iconic" due to all the effort surrounding them (e.g. videos, separate releases with their own cover art, promo performances, etc). This was fun to do so great idea katy !

Not Enough 10. My World 11. Darlin 12. Remember When 13. Hush Hush 14. Alice This was so difficult tho
