Clubland's Greatest Hits is the first compilation album released by American singer Joi Cardwell through K-Tel and Cold Front Records on November 10, 1998. It marked her first album release, following her defunct from Eightball Records, as well her first and last album for K-Tel and Cold Front Records. The greatest hits album features the highest-charting singles from Cardwell's two studio albums released between 1995 and 1997 as well as a few remixes of her past singles.

Background[edit]

In 1998, Cardwell departed from Eightball Records. The two-disc collection comprising eight songs and a variety of remixes was later released by K-Tel in collaboration with Cold Front Records.[1] In an interview with Billboard, Cardwell stated, "Oh, that compilation was such a fiasco." when talking about her then-new greatest hits album More (1992–2003).[1]

Clubland's Greatest Hits received a mixed review from The Boston Phoenix's Michael Freedberg, who criticized the album's content by saying, "These 14 tracks aren't clubland's greatest hits but Cardwell has long been one of the first-called house-music divas, and these songs tell why."[2]
