The Power of Love: The Best of Jennifer Rush is a compilation album by American singer Jennifer Rush, released by Sony's Columbia Records in 2000. While it was the third full-priced compilation to be issued by Sony since Rush's departure from Columbia in 1989, it was the first to be handled by Sony U.K.
Sony Germany (who, as she was based in Germany, had handled all of Rush's releases during her tenure with the Columbia label) had previously released two full-priced compilation albums on Columbia of Rush's material: 1991's The Power of Jennifer Rush (released across Europe) and The Best of Jennifer Rush in 1999 (released to limited European markets and the South African market).
For this compilation, Sony U.K. focused on Rush's success in the United Kingdom, giving it the title of her biggest-selling hit there and opening the album with that song. The featured versions of "The Power of Love" and "Ring of Ice" (a top 20 U.K. hit for Rush and her second biggest hit there) are the mixes found on the 7" singles issued in that country (as remixed by Walter Samuel), rather than the original mixes found on the German 7" singles.
An expanded "anniversary edition" was released digitally on December 13, 2024.[1] This edition adds the songs "Ave Maria (Survivors of a Different Kind)", "Come Give Me Your Hand", "Madonna's Eyes", "25 Lovers", "Wings of Desire", "Si Tu Eres Mi Hombre Y Yo Tu Mujer" (the Spanish version of "The Power of Love") and a remix of "Ring of Ice" by Stereoact, but removes the songs "Pleasure" and "Down to You" that appeared on the original edition.
