Greatest Hits: Straight Up! is the second greatest hits compilation by singer Paula Abdul. The album was released on May 8, 2007. The album comprehensively contains all of Abdul's singles including six U.S. number-ones. It notably includes the top-20 single "Will You Marry Me?" and "Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up" which were left off her 2000 Greatest Hits album along with four additional album tracks. Like its predecessor album, Greatest Hits: Straight Up! did not chart on the Billboard 200 (though it did chart near the bottom of the R&B Albums chart).[3]
