My Favourites is the third greatest hits album by German singer Sandra, released on 4 June 1999 by Virgin Records.
My Favourites is a double album consisting of some of Sandra's hits and non-single tracks newly remixed by long-time band companion Peter Ries and Wolfgang Filz on disc 1, and some of Sandra's favourite songs from her repertoire, mostly ballads, on disc 2.[2] The compilation includes eight tracks from Close to Seven, six from Fading Shades, five from Into a Secret Land, two from The Long Play and Paintings in Yellow, and one from 18 Greatest Hits. The concept of the album followed a trend established by such artists as Modern Talking and Amanda Lear who had recently remixed and re-recorded old material on their respective albums Back for Good and Back in Your Arms.
The new version of "Secret Land" was released as the only regular single from the album and was a minor chart hit in Germany. "Maria Magdalena" and "In the Heat of the Night" were released as promotional vinyl singles only in France. "No Taboo" was planned to be the next single, but the release was eventually cancelled. My Favourites was a top 20 chart success in Germany and Norway.
