pop group released in 1989. It was the group's first 'Greatest Hits' collection after a run of successful singles and albums since 1985. Two new songs were included on the album, the first of which, "With Every Heartbeat", was released as a single. However, when it failed to make the Top 40, the other new track, "Something About My Baby", was not released as a single.
The release of Greatest Hits marked the end of the group's association with RCA Records
. However, the album proved to be Five Star's least successful release up to that point, selling only 15,500 copies and peaking at a lowly #53 on the UK charts, highlighting the band's rapid decline in popularity.
After the album's release, the group signed to Epic Records
, and immediately began planning a new album for the following year, the self titled "Five Star" album. However, this new album would not see British release.
