The Best of Feeder is Feeder's third UK compilation album, following Picture of Perfect Youth released in 2004 and The Singles released in 2006. The deluxe edition was released with a nine-track album titled Arrow.

Contents

In 2024 the album was certified silver in the United Kingdom for 60,000 combined pure sales and streams, with streaming making up at least between 40,000 and 50,000 of the total. This only takes into account the 12 most streamed tracks on the standard release of the album on a week-by-week basis, added onto the total pure sales. It became the band's first album to receive a sales award during the streaming era, a rarity for many rock bands.

Track listing

The album has 3 editions: a 2-CD 'standard' edition and two 'deluxe' editions available on 3 CDs and 4 LPs. Each edition contains a selection of 42 Feeder singles, plus some or all of the 9 tracks that make up Arrow. The only single not included on any edition is "This Town", furthermore, the album version of "Paperfaces" is used instead of the single version. “Walk Away”, which is on the nine track mini album, was first performed in 2010 on a Japanese live radio session.

In music, a single is a type of release of a song recording of fewer tracks than an album or LP record, typically one or two tracks. A single can be released for sale to the public in a variety of physical or digital formats.
