'''''Greatest Hits''''' is a [[compilation album]] by the British pop group [[Five Star]] released in 1989. It was the group's first 'greatest hits' collection after a run of successful singles and albums since 1985. It contains all of the band's UK Top 50 singles including the non-album single, "With Every Heartbeat", which was released earlier in the year (although that track was not included on the [[Vinyl record|LP]] version). Another new track, "Something About My Baby", was included on the CD and cassette versions of the album but was not released as a single.
