Most Requested Hits is American teen pop singer Aaron Carter's first compilation album and fourth overall album under Jive Records. The compilation includes no tracks from Carter's self-titled debut album,[1] and was released on November 3, 2003.[2] The album was initially announced with an accompanying DVD, but it was later cancelled by Jive due to technical issues.[3]

Neil Strauss of The New York Times wrote that Aaron Carter's early hits "must make him cringe", and added that "they make me cringe".[5] Adam Tod Brown of Cracked mocked the album's premise, questioning the title with, "Most requested hits? Requested by who?" and sarcastically suggesting that a "Freedom of Information Act request is pending" to see the supposed data. He highlighted "That's How I Beat Shaq" as the "Best Moment".[6]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic argued that although Most Requested Hits suggests a comprehensive roundup, "not a lot of hits" justified such a compilation, noting that "'Shake It' has been left off, as is anything from his 1998 debut". He observed that Aaron was "trying to present himself as a young adult" and highlighted material from Another Earthquake!, concluding that the album becomes "an interesting listen", since it "winds up having contrast and a narrative", even if it "doesn't have all of his hits".[4]
