Finally (alternatively referred as ALL TIME BEST ALBUM "Finally") is the seventh greatest hits album by Japanese singer Namie Amuro. It was released in a variety of formats by her label Dimension Point on November 8, 2017, and was later distributed to other markets in Asia. It is the singer's final music release upon announcing her retirement from the entertainment industry in September 2018.
The compilation celebrates the singer's entire musical career, from her 1992 debut with Super Monkey's to her most recent singles released in 2017. The majority of the album's material was reworked and re-recorded, with new songs added. Music critics praised the majority of the songs on Finally for their reworked quality, believing the collection captured the singer's craft over the previous four decades of her career. As a result, Amuro's work on Finally earned numerous nominations and awards.
The album achieved commercial success in Japan, reaching number one on the Oricon Albums Chart and Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart. It was also certified double million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipping over two million units. Having sold over 2,400,000 copies according to Oricon, it is the best-selling album of the 2010s in Japan.
The album included five singles, all of which were successful in Japan. The album received widespread publicity, owing primarily to Amuro's announcement of the record and retirement, and was featured in both Asian and Western publications. She began her nationwide concert tour, which later expanded to other Asian countries, and then went on to perform in her hometown of Okinawa to commemorate her career. The live release was a commercial success, becoming the best-selling music visual in the country. Amuro retired from the music industry on September 16, 2018, after the album's promotion had concluded.
