The only instance I can think of that comes close is the Smiths and Hatful of Hollow. How Soon Is Now? doesn't count because it was on Meat Is Murder, but other major singles like William, It Was Really Nothing. Also, Louder Than Bombs showcased Shakespeare's Sister, Shoplifters of the World Unite and Panic... So I guess, the long answer is, no. I can't think of an example.

Tom Petty's Last Dance With Mary Jane was pretty huge, and it was created for just that purpose.

I am fairly certain there is one, although I can't think of a solid example.

The closest I get is "La Bamba" by Los Lobos. By far their most acclaimed success (really the only song of theirs that most people can name) and it was recorded for the soundtrack to the movie. Never featured on one of their numerous studio albums. Of course, it's a cover of an older song but still by far their most famous.

Does Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart count? 😕 I'm guessing it doesn't, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

Yeah I was thinking about this one too

not their most acclaimed, but New Order's single 'True Faith', released on Substance, was their first to reach the hot 100 in the US and their top 40 hit

... a band or artist whos most acclaimed single was a new single they recorded for a greatest hits or singles collection. I'm not talking about a song that was on a previous album and was rereleased as a single to promote the new collection.

The song can either be the band/artist's most critically acclaimed or highest selling. I wonder if there is one.
