GHV2

Untitled

GHV2 ("Greatest Hits Volume 2") is Madonna's 2001 greatest hits album, the followup to 1990's The Immaculate Collection. The album peacked at #2 in the official UK album chart, and went to #7 in US.

Many of the songs on GHV2 were edited down from original studio versions.

Like The Immaculate Collection, there wasn't space for many other popular singles released, such as: "This Used to Be My Playground", "Bad Girl", "Fever", "Rain", "I'll Remember", "You'll See" (or the spanish version "Verás"), "You Must Love Me", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall", "Buenos Aires", "Nothing Really Matters", and "American Pie". In an interview with BBC's Jo Whiley Madonna said about the selection of the GHV2 tracks: "I only wanted songs that I could listen to 5 times in a row".

Unlike The Immaculate Collection, there was no single to promote the album or even recorded for GHV2.

Many Madonna fans were upset/confused at the use of Edits. To avoid an 'explicit lyrics'-sticker, an edit of "Human Nature" was included that completely removes the infamous line "I'm not your Bitch, don't hang your Shit on me", which renders the "Express yourself, Don't repress yourself" line null.
