The Singles is Feeder's second UK compilation album, following the limited release b-sides album Picture of Perfect Youth, released in 2006. The album has 18 of their UK top 40 hit single tracks, and the compilation made it to #2 in the UK charts.

It was the UK's best-selling album by a British artist for its first three weeks and earned itself UK platinum certification. This is its first repress since its original limited pressing in 2006 which is sold out, and this is its first time with the CD in digisleeve packaging.
