Greatest Hits is a compilation of Billy Idol`s most popular singles, released by Capitol Records in 2001. The album includes two additional tracks: a live recording of one of his most popular songs, "Rebel Yell" (this live version was recorded in 1993 and appeared as a b-side for the single "Speed" in 1994), plus a new version of Idol`s longtime producer Keith Forsey`s "Don`t You (Forget About Me)". Although Forsey originally wrote the song with Idol in mind,[citation needed] Idol turned it down and eventually the song was given to Simple Minds who would go on to make it a worldwide hit in 1985. Greatest Hits was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2005.[2]
