Is it a singular or plural greatest hits. 1 collection of greatest hits or a collection of several greatest hits.
If greatest hits could be plural form a single artist.
I don't think the number of hits is relevant. "Steve's car" or Steve's car" - It makes no difference whether there is more than one car, there is still only one of me. Equally "The players' car" or "The players' cars" - There is more than one player, thus the apostrophe goes after the "s".If greatest hits could be plural form a single artist.
It just feels to me that "Simon and Garfunkel's" is a bit weird, because there are two people, treated as one entity, thus the apostrophe before the "S".

Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest HIts
Shouldn't the apostophe be after the S? Simon and Garfunkel are two people, it is their Greatest Hits, not just Garfunkel's.
Or.... do we regard the two of them as a single entity?
Or...... should it be "Simon's and Garfunkel's" ?
Where you're talking about a pair in this sort of context, yes, treat as a single entity and the apostrophe goes before the s of the second person. So in this case, Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits is correct. Also, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, for example.Shouldn't the apostophe be after the S? Simon and Garfunkel are two people, it is their Greatest Hits, not just Garfunkel's.
