| • | Greatest Hits, Volume II is the second greatest hits album by American rock band Chicago - their fifteenth overall - and was released in 1981.
Following the commercial flop of 1980's Chicago XIV, Columbia Records dropped Chicago from their roster and cancelled a lucrative contract that had recently been signed. While the band had begun their association with David Foster and were in the process of building a new identity, Columbia put together a sequel to their first - and highly successful - hits package, 1975's Chicago IX - Chicago's Greatest Hits.
Released in November 1981, Greatest Hits, Volume II primarily samples material from Chicago VIII in 1975 to when the hits stopped coming, 1978's Hot Streets, though it stretches further back to pick up overlooked hits from the era first covered by their original compilation album. Because it appeared just before Chicago's unexpected career revival with Chicago 16, this set performed very poorly at retail, only reaching #171 in the US.
Alike its predecessor, Greatest Hits, Volume II has since been superseded by 2002's The Very Best of: Only the Beginning and is out of print.
