Hamasaki announced on her website in July 2008 that she would be releasing her greatest hits album, A Complete: All Singles. [1] It is her second compilation album to include all singles from her entire discography up to her most recent single, "Talkin' 2 Myself," the first being her A Best album from 2001. It is also her fifth compilation release, following A Best (2001), A Ballads (2003), and the double album A Best 2 (2007). [lower-alpha 1] She later published additional information about both albums, including the album's content, formats, and promotional activities. [6]

The compilation was created to mark the singer's tenth anniversary since the release of her 1998 single "Poker Face".
