Yearwood released her first greatest hits compilation in August 1997, "(Songbook) A Collection of Hits". The album comprised her major hits up to that point. "Songbook" was praised by most music critics, including AllMusic who called it "a near-definitive collection". The compilation became her first album to peak at number 1 on the "Billboard" Top Country Albums chart. It also reached the Top 10 of the "Billboard" 200, peaking at number 4. "Songbook" included three new tracks that were eventually released as singles. "How Do I Live" was the first single issued and was included in the 1997 film "Con Air". The song was also nominated for Best Song at the Academy Awards. "How Do I Live" was originally recorded by LeAnn Rimes for the film. Rimes's version became a major hit on the "Billboard" Hot 100, peaking at number two, while Yearwood's version peaked at number two on the "Billboard" country chart. The song also reached number 23 on the "Billboard" Hot 100. The album's remaining singles also became major hits on the "Billboard" Country Chart. "In Another's Eyes" (a duet with Garth Brooks) peaked at number 2 on the country chart and the third single, "Perfect Love" reached number one in early 1998. Additionally, Yearwood won a series of accolades. This included accolades from the Grammy Awards, the Country Music Association Awards, and the Academy of Country Music. "Songbook" would become Yearwood's highest selling album, selling four million copies in the United States, eventually being certified 4× Multi-Platinum from the RIAA.
