Most all greatest hits compilations are assembled exclusively by record companies, and the artists themselves are rarely involved with them. Many artists object to them, in fact... but most record label contracts contain clauses for the record company to assemble & release greatest hits packages at will. Lindsey alluded to this regarding the the Very Best of Fleetwood Mac back when it dropped.
