Latest Greatest Straitest Hits is the fifth compilation album by American country music artist George Strait. It was released on March 7, 2000 by MCA Records. The album represents his greatest hits since the release of his 1995 box set Strait Out of the Box. The set contains two newly recorded tracks. "The Best Day" was released as a single and hit #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks. Although not a single, "Murder on Music Row" (a duet with Alan Jackson) also charted in the Top 40 from unsolicited airplay.
The album does not include any singles from his 1999 album Always Never the Same. Another notable omission is "I Just Want to Dance with You", a #1 hit from 1998.
In March 2003 the album was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA.[5]
