'''''Platinum & Gold Collection''''' is a series of budget-priced [[greatest hits]] [[Compilation album|compilation]]s for recording artists on the labels of [[Sony BMG]]. The series was launched as a Sony BMG counterpart to [[Universal Music Group]]'s successful ''[[20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection]]'' series. Most ''Platinum & Gold Collection'' albums contain 12 tracks.
'''''The Platinum and Gold Collection''''' is a series of [[discount]]-priced [[greatest hits]] [[compact disc|CDs]] by bands who have recorded for [[BMG]] or its subsidiaries.
The albums are often compiled by the label without the participation or approval of the bands being anthologized, and as a result, the CDs are often [[boycott]]ed by fans of the bands. One notable example is the [[Cowboy Junkies: The Platinum and Gold Collection|Cowboy Junkies]] anthology.
However, for some older artists, ''Platinum and Gold Collection'' CDs may also be the only hits compilations currently available in record stores.
