Top 100 Compilation Albums
by
Secondsoul 
Compilations, Best Of's, Greatest Hits - that's what this chart contains. These are albums that I've never included before in any of my charts as I don't think it fair to put them up against original albums. But I still think that they deserve a chart of their own as over the years I've bought a lot of these and they all contain some great tracks. I think that compilations are a great way to get to know a band or artist if you've never heard any of their music before. If that's the case, these albums are a good starting point. So here is a list of my favourite compilations.

Great list of compilations, but it seems to be a little UK-heavy.
