When you walk up to a jukebox in that local bar, you’ll know it when you see it. If you want to play a song that almost everyone will know, you’ll scroll through the selections to find one that has “Greatest Hits” in the title. You’re looking for the best of the best.

Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Hot Rocks by The Rolling Stones. In Time by REM.

Many bands simply call their collection of hits “The Greatest Hits” because they are.

You know all the words.

Hearing it will immediately bring you back to your comfort zone. A familiar place. A memory of where you were when you first discovered the appeal of the singer or band.

They are the best place to start if you were introducing the “sound” to someone who hadn’t heard it before.

If you’re a fan of the artist, the “Greatest Hits” are gonna work every time.

Make Your Selection

It’s sort of like “the basics” when it comes to sales, management, or leadership. The basics just seem to work. No new tune or change of beat. As Jimmy Buffet’s Greatest Hits album says, it’s the “Songs You Know By Heart.”

Once you learn the words, they don’t change. You don’t really have to memorize the “lyrics,” they just start becoming part of you.

Building Relationships.

Solving Problems.

Having Fun.

Who’s got a dollar? I feel like playing some tunes that I know people are gonna like.
