218 Singles is a greatest hits album by Irish rock band U2, released in November 2006. In most markets, the album contains 18 songs: 16 of their most successful and popular singles, and two new songs. The 17th track is a cover version of the Skids` `The Saints Are Coming`, recorded with Green Day to benefit Hurricane Katrina charities. The 18th and closing track was a new song entitled `Window in the Skies`. In some markets such as the United Kingdom, an extra song, `I Will Follow`, was included as the opening track. A DVD compilation of music videos from throughout the group`s career entitled U218 Videos was released concurrent to U218 Singles.

The album debuted on the Billboard 200 albums chart on 9 December 2006 at number 12 with sales of 134,000 copies. It spent 45 weeks on the chart. Despite not being released until November 2006, it was the seventh-highest-selling album in the world that year.[6]
