Rick Astley was one of the more distinctive acts from the Stock, Aitken & Waterman stable of singers and groups from the late 1980s. While it was true that Kylie Minogue went on to have a consistent long lasting, almost unbroken series of hits, and artists like Bananarama, Donna Summer, and Cliff Richard were famous long before SAW got their production teeth into them, Rick Astley had seven Top Ten hits in the '80s and a brief comeback with a different image in 1991, and it was generally accepted that his voice would have made him a star, whatever the production background. It was inevitable that with the wave of nostalgia of all things from the '80s that swept through the music industry in the 2000s, Astley would be one of the artists given the reissue treatment, and in spring 2008 came Ultimate Collection, a 17-track compilation that included every one of his nine Top Ten singles as well as the four lesser hits in the '90s.
However, it was in 2002 that a Greatest Hits collection was first released and charted briefly, if only for four weeks, and this too included all 13 hit singles.
