Greatest Hits is a compilation album by contemporary Christian music-pop singer Amy Grant, released on October 2, 2007 (see 2007 in music). It was released by EMI CMG, Grant's new record label, to mark the start of her contract with them. It does not contain new songs, but the record label did remaster all of her songs. It is her latest career-spanning collection (following the 1986 compilation The Collection), and thus overlaps several tracks with both The Collection and Greatest Hits 1986–2004 (2004). As with The Collection, the songs are arranged in reverse chronological order. There is a special edition of the album that also contains a bonus DVD.
The album contains at least one song from all of Grant's non-Christmas studio albums at the time of this album's release, with the exception of Never Alone (1980), Legacy... Hymns and Faith (2002) and Rock of Ages... Hymns and Faith (2005). Notably missing from the collection are several of Grant's hits, including "Everywhere I Go", "Wise Up", "The Next Time I Fall" (a duet with Peter Cetera), and her cover version of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi".

The other video has Grant showing many copies of the album around her house in various places such as by her alarm clock and by her pictures, while the acoustic "Baby Baby" is playing in the background. Towards the end of the video, Grant takes out copies of the liner notes from the washing machine, and also brings out copies of the album from the microwave oven.
