Bigger, Better Power Ballads II - The Greatest Driving Anthems in the World... Ever! is the 2nd edition in The Greatest Driving Anthems in the World... Ever! series, which is a part of The Best... Album in the World...Ever! brand.

The album has also been released in an Australian and a New Zealandic edition. These two versions have an album cover similar to those album covers in the 3rd edition of The Greatest Driving Anthems in the World... Ever! series.

The 2nd edition of the Australian album series is called Bigger, Better Power Ballads, while the 3rd edition of the Australian album series is called Bigger, Better Power Ballads II.

Furthermore, there has been released a South African edition with 34 epic rock love songs. It is, however, questionable whether all of these 34 songs are true power ballads and not merely regularly pop songs[original research?].
