Because before the advent of selling individual songs, most "artists" (for
want of a better word) would release albums with two or maybe three cool
tracks, and the rest utter drivel that's just there to fill up the gaps.

Now there are some exceptions to that, like Jarre or Marillion that I have
in my collection, but who can name all tracks from the Sam Fox album that
also contains "Touch me (I want to feel your body)"?

That's how greatest hits albums came about.
