The very first compilation belongs to 's budget-priced series, a line intended to dig deeper than the obvious hits by offering album tracks and assorted mild rarities. This breaks those rules, choosing to run down 's hit singles -- every one of the entries, minus the Christmas tunes and the 2000 misfire -- which is a preferable way to tackle the canon because her best moments were always her singles. And they're all here, from the still-snappy bubblegum of through the Dukes of Hazzard cover of the paparazzi anthem and the country makeover of presenting a tidy history of 's decade in the limelight. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
