The Best of Nelly Furtado is a greatest hits album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado. The album was first released on 12 November 2010.[1] The album includes all of Furtado's biggest hits, as well as songs she is featured in and three new songs: "Night Is Young", "Stars" and "Girlfriend in the City". It was released in standard, deluxe and super deluxe editions. The album's track listing and artwork were revealed on 14 October 2010.[2]
Content
[edit]Talking about how she picked the new songs to be on the greatest hits Furtado said, "The way I picked the new songs for Best of Nelly Furtado was I was just coming off my Latin American tour for Mi Plan and two of my songs got leaked on the internet. Somebody in Eastern Europe or something leaked the songs on the internet. One song was "Night Is Young" and the other song was "Girlfriend In The City", but they were kind of horrible versions that weren't even finished and not mixed. So I thought okay, a lot of my fans have heard these new songs anyway in their rough version, I might as well finish them and put them out properly on the greatest hits album. It kind of seemed like the natural choice. And then the third selection is "Stars", which is a song Lester Mendez and I wrote a couple years ago when we were doing the Loose sessions. It's one of those songs that I think people who like Folklore will like, because it's more intimate and slow."[3] The diss track "Give It to Me" was omitted from the album's track listing due to the negative lyrical content according to Furtado in an interview.[4]

Scott Kara from The New Zealand Herald saw the release as being for the fans.[6]
