Dean Martin’s ‘Greatest Hits’ Coming to Vinyl in November
A vinyl version of Dean Martin’s ‘Greatest Hits’ is coming later this year.
Dean Martin’s Greatest Hits is coming to vinyl for the first time on November 1st.
Available in standard black and exclusive limited-edition color, the 13-track vinyl includes six new digital ATMOS mixes of some of Martin’s greatest hits. The songs with new mixes are “Memories Are Made Of This,” “Sway (Quien Sera),” “That’s Amore,” “Volare (Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blu),” “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head,” and “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You.”
A testament to Martin’s continued sway in popular culture, multiple songs featured on the Greatest Hits album have recently earned new certifications from the RIAA. “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head” and “That’s Amore” are now both Platinum certified, while “Volare (Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blu),” “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You,” and “Sway (Quien Sera)” are now all certified Gold. This year, Martin is on track to surpass his existing record of 1 billion yearly streams.
A holiday-season legend, Martin’s track “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” has also managed to continually chart even decades after his death, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2023. In August, his classic 2013 Christmas compilation Dino’s Christmas was also re-released in CD and LP format. Beyond “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” it featured time-honored favorites like “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Winter Wonderland,” and “Brahms’ Lullaby.”
Martin, who died in 1998, received countless accolades during his lengthy career, including 12 Emmy wins (he hosted The Dean Martin Show on NBC from 1965 to 1974, and pioneered the celebrity roast), three Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award.
