U218 Singles (originally titled U218) is a greatest hits-style compilation album by the Irish rock band U2. This album was released in Ireland on 17 November 2006, in Australia on 18 November 2006, in the UK on 20 November 2006, and in the US on 21 November 2006. It contains eighteen songs altogether—sixteen of their most well-known and successful singles, as well as "The Saints Are Coming" (in collaboration with Green Day) and a new song, "Window in the Skies." "I Will Follow" appears as a bonus track on UK and Australian editions of the CD. U218 Videos, a DVD featuring music videos from throughout U2's career, was released the same day as this album.
A limited edition version includes a live DVD featuring ten songs recorded on the Vertigo Tour in Milan. The deluxe version in the UK, Ireland, Canada and U.S. iTunes Store also contains these live songs (with the exception of "Original of the Species") as audio tracks, as well as a digital booklet and a bonus track, "Smile," for those that pre-order the album. For the U.S. version, it does not come with a digital booklet, but instead with "Smile" as a bonus track even if it hasn't been pre-ordered.
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart on December 9, 2006 with sales of 134,000 copies. It spent 45 weeks on the chart. As of January 24, 2008, it has sold 847,490 copies in the US.
The cover is a photoshoot of U2 taken in Dublin in 1979. From left to right, still in their teens at the time, are Clayton, Mullen, Bono and The Edge.
