A Place on Earth: The Greatest Hits is the second greatest hits album by American singer Belinda Carlisle, released in the UK on November 30, 1999, by Virgin Records. A limited edition was released with a bonus disc featuring remixes and rare B-sides. A European edition was also released with an interview CD featuring Belinda providing answers to over 40 questions sent in by fans.
Three new tracks were recorded especially for this compilation - "Feels Like I've Known You Forever", "A Prayer for Everyone" and "All God's Children", which was released as a single. A promotional release of an edited version of "A Prayer for Everyone" was issued to Swedish radio stations but went unreleased. All three new tracks would later be released on a re-issue of Carlisle's final Virgin studio album Real.
The bonus disc included two non-album tracks ("Only a Dream", and "The Air You Breathe") originally released in 1992 as B-sides. These were for the singles "Half the World" and "Little Black Book".
The collection was a success in the UK where it made the top 20 and was certified gold.
