Songs You Know by Heart: Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hit(s) is the 18th album and the first greatest hits compilation by singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was released in 1985. The parenthetical "s" in the subtitle alludes to the status at the time of "Margaritaville" as Buffett's single large chart hit.
Despite its 1985 release date, the album only includes songs from 1973 to 1979. Aside from 1976's Havaña Daydreamin', this compilation includes at least one song from each of Buffett's ABC Records/MCA Records albums released between 1973 and 1979.
The album reached #100 on the Billboard 200. The album however has continued to sell, and it was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 12, 1989, and 7× Platinum on November 21, 2005, which made it Buffett's most commercially successful. It has sold 5,646,300 copies in the United States as of October 2019.
