Greatest Hits was the one and only compilation album by Blink-182, released on November 1, 2005. On the same day, the DVD was released featuring the same title and cover. It included most of the band's music videos. "Carousel" was not on the original tracklisting released for the album but after many complaints by fans ("Carousel" being a well-loved song) it was included.

Fans are known to have complained about the DVD footage, as all of it was included on previous releases - the live footage on The Urethra Chronicles II, and the behind the scenes footage on the first three singles from the Blink-182 album. An edited version was released (like some other Blink-182 albums), although the track "Feeling This" was un-edited.
