biisipiä

Biisipiä is a Finnish term that refers to a compilation album or a collection of songs, often released by a particular artist or a record label. The word itself is a combination of "biisi," meaning song or track, and "piä," which is a colloquial or dialectal form of "pitää," meaning to hold or to keep. Therefore, "biisipiä" can be literally translated as "song holder" or "song collection."

These compilations typically feature a selection of popular tracks, hits, or a themed set of songs from an artist's discography. They can also be used to showcase new artists or to highlight specific genres. Biisipiä albums are a common practice in the music industry worldwide, serving as a way for listeners to access a curated selection of music without needing to purchase individual albums. In Finland, the term is widely understood and used by both music consumers and professionals. The release of a biisipiä can be a strategic move for artists looking to reintroduce their work to a wider audience or to celebrate a significant milestone in their career.
