In 1974, Cher released the song "Dark Lady" as the lead single from the namesake album. It reached the top position on the "Billboard" Hot 100, becoming Cher's fourth number-one single and making her the female artist with the most number-one singles in United States history at the time. Later that year, she released a "Greatest Hits" album that, according to "Billboard" magazine, proved her to be "one of the most consistent hitmakers of the past five years", as well as a "proven superstar who always sells records".
