''Greatest Hits'' is a 2001 album by The Cure . The band's relationship with longtime label Fiction Records came to a close, and The Cure were obliged to release one final album for the label. Robert Smith agreed to release a greatest hits album with the condition that he himself could choose the tracks. The subsequently released "Greatest Hits" features select singles from their then-25 year history. In an effort to provide something new for the hardcore fans who owned the previously-released songs, Robert arranged for the band, and former member Boris Williams to re-record acoustic versions of the "Greatest Hits". The acoustic disc appeared as a bonus disc on select first pressings of ''Greatest Hits''.

''Greatest Hits'' was also released on DVD. The video list is the same as the CD list, except "The Caterpillar", "Pictures of You", and "Close To Me (Closest Mix)" are hidden easter eggs. Six of the acoustic performances appear on the DVD.
