Greatest Hits (Billy Idol album)

Greatest Hits is a compilation of Billy Idol's most popular singles, released by Capitol Records in 2001.

The album includes two additional tracks: a live recording of one of his most popular songs, "Rebel Yell" (this live acoustic version was recorded in 1993 and appeared as a b-side for the single "Speed" in 1994), plus a new version of Idol's longtime producer Keith Forsey's "Don't You (Forget About Me)".

Although Forsey originally wrote the song with Idol in mind,[citation needed] Idol turned it down and eventually the song was given to Simple Minds who would go on to make it a worldwide hit in 1985.

Greatest Hits was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2005.
