Shanice chronology
Shanice (1999) Ultimate Collection (1999) Every Woman Dreams (2006)

Ultimate Collection is a compilation by American R&B singer Shanice, containing songs from her first three albums. The collection was released on November 16, 1999, but does not include any tracks from her fourth album Shanice, released earlier that year, or any of her previous contributions to soundtracks or other artists' albums.

As a result, the singles omitted include "Saving Forever For You" (a Billboard Hot 100 #4 hit - one of only two of her singles to make the top 10), "This Time" (a #2 US R&B hit recorded with Kiara for Kiara's album To Change and/or Make a Difference), "It's for You" (a #14 US R&B hit recorded for The Meteor Man soundtrack) and "When I Close My Eyes" (a #4 US R&B hit recorded for Shanice).
