The album was initially released in the US as a one-disc compilation in February 2003. A limited edition release of the US version included a bonus disc with rare extra tracks. A two-disc edition was released for the International market which collects 38 songs over 20 years. A special edition of the album was released later which includes a DVD selecting highlights throughout this period of Richie's career. The DVD also includes a live performance from Amsterdam and the making of Dancing on the Ceiling (as a hidden extra).
The album was unusual in that it hit the #1 spot in the UK album charts 12 years after it was released, after a live performance by Richie described as "triumphant" at the Glastonbury Festival 2015. It became his first UK #1 in 23 years. It also held a record for the shortest stay at #1. 5 days after reaching the top, it was replaced by Ed Sheeran's x.
