I was thinking of John Gotti.

Wrong type of hits?

Interestingly, AC/DC have NEVER released a Greatest Hits collection because (a) they’ve been on the same label all this time and (b) they have some clout and © they have a surprising amount of integrity on the matter.

Conversely, when Silverchair recently left Sony after 3 albums, SONY released a Greatest Hits album very much against the wishes of young Daniel Johns - his quote at the time? “It’s obscene that someone 21 years of age should have a Greatest Hits album come out against their wishes…” but Sony were keen on milking the Silverchair cow for all they were worth…
