20 Greatest Hits (Beatles album)

20 Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the Beatles, released in 1982 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their first record release, "Love Me Do." The album was released in both the United Kingdom and the United States, but with slightly different track listings.

The UK version of 20 Greatest Hits features the band's most commercially successful singles in Britain. It peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart.

The US version, also known as Reel Music, was released as a tie-in to the theatrical release of the Beatles' film of the same name. It includes a selection of songs featured in the Beatles' films and was intended to capitalize on the renewed interest in the band's music due to the film. The track list differs significantly from the UK version, reflecting the different hit singles the band had in the US market.

While neither version of 20 Greatest Hits is considered a definitive or comprehensive compilation of the Beatles' work, both served as accessible introductions to their music for new listeners and provided a convenient collection of popular hits for existing fans. The album has since been superseded by more complete and carefully curated Beatles compilation albums such as 1.
