Track listing US version

Released on Arista Records, the American version of Faithless's Greatest Hits CD doesn't have "Fatty Boo". But it is an Enhanced Disc with a bonus music video of the 2005 version of "Why Go".

Initial US pressings contained MediaMax CD-3 copy protection, but this was abandoned after the 2005 Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal.

Song versions

Except "Insomnia" and "Salva Mea", the chart versions of each song are included, not the full length – this was necessary to fit all the tracks into 1 hour 20 minutes.

Preceded by Heart and Soul by Steve Brookstein

UK number one album 29 May 2005 – 4 June 2005

(Estelle Version), Muhammad Ali (Rollo & Sister Bliss Tuff Love Mix Video) and Miss U Less, See U More.
