Greatest Hits is a compilation released by American hip-hop trio, the Fugees. The album was released on March 25, 2003, by the group's former record label, Columbia Records. The band had long since split at the time of the album's release, although renewed interest sparked them to record a release a single, "Take it Easy", in 2005, the first official release from the trio since 1997.
The album features the majority of the group's singles discography (omitting only "Boof Baf" and "Rumble in the Jungle") and fan favourites, as well as Lauryn Hill's debut solo single, "The Sweetest Thing". The European edition re-arranges the tracklisting, and includes three additional tracks, including a BBC Radio 1 live lounge session and a live version of "Killing Me Softly".[2]
