Best Selection 2010 is a Japanese greatest hits album released by South Korean pop group Tohoshinki, containing songs from their albums Heart, Mind and Soul, Five in the Black, T and The Secret Code. It also features four new singles, two which are certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Best Selection 2010 is the last new album release by the original lineup of Tohoshinki.

The album was released on February 17, 2010 in Japan in three editions: a 2CD+DVD version, a 1CD+DVD version, and a CD version. Best Selection 2010 was the group's first album to reach number one on the Oricon Albums Chart, and is the first album by a foreign band to have first-week sales of 400,000 copies in Japan. Best Selection 2010 was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAJ and is Tohoshinki's best-selling album of their career. It is also the best-selling greatest hits album by a foreign artist in Japan.

Best Selection 2010 debuted at number-one on the Oricon Daily Album Chart, selling 228,542 copies on the first day. By the end of the first week, the album maintained its number-one rank on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart by selling a total of 412,861 copies. As a result, Best Selection 2010 became the group's first number-one album in Japan. They broke a 14-year record and set the mark for the highest first-week sales by a foreign group, which was last set by Bon Jovi in 1995 with 379,000 copies sold.

Tohoshinki's Best Selection 2010 also debuted number-one on the Global United Charts, making their album the number-one sales in the world. The 412,861 album sales from Tohoshinki beat out other artists like Sade, Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas that week. With this accomplishment, they have surpassed Backstreet Boys and Bon Jovi who used to hold the #1 and #2 spots before Best Selection 2010 was released.
