The Best Things – The Greatest Hits is the fourth compilation album and third greatest hits released by Australian rock band Boom Crash Opera. The album was released in Australian on 18 October 2013. The album was launched on 25 October 2013 at the Flyer Saucer Club in Melbourne.[1] The album includes tracks from the group's first four studio albums as well as two new tracks recorded in 2012, "I am" and "You Can't Stop the Sun".

In an interview with between Weekend Notes and band member Peter Maslen, he described the album as "... a basic CD. It's got the hits and two new songs we recorded last year, which surprised us, but we did do two songs last year. It wasn't planned."[2]

The group toured the album from February to May 2014.[3]
