Yup. It's either that or it's just a quick and easy cash cow. Best ofs come from singles, singles sell. Ergo, a best of made of singles = money. That way they don't have to "risk it" when it comes to a studio album made of material that people might not like. The odd thing here is that this goes by the assumption that only singles are good tracks, which isn't usually the case. /shrug
The only OTHER time I can see a best of album being necessary is when it's themed, or rearranged in an interesting way... that way you get the same songs, technically, but not entirely the same that they don't offer appeal for those who already have the originals. But what do I know, heh.
