The Whole Story is the second compilation album by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush and her first greatest hits album worldwide. Released on 10 November 1986, it earned Bush her third UK number-one album and went on to become her best-selling release to date, being certified four-times platinum in the United Kingdom.
The album includes eleven of Bush's singles. It also includes "Experiment IV", which had been released as a single three weeks earlier; it also reached the UK top 30. A remix of Bush's debut single "Wuthering Heights" (1978) with newly re-recorded vocals opens the album. The album mix of "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" features on this release rather than the single version.
A home video compilation of the same name was released simultaneously, which includes the promotional videos for each song on the album.
It was nominated for the Best Concept Music Video at the 1988 Grammy Awards.
In 2014, during Bush's Before the Dawn residency at the Hammersmith Apollo, The Whole Story charted at number 8 in the UK. Following a resurgence of popularity for "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" in 2022, The Whole Story peaked at number 17 on the UK Albums Chart.
