Golden Best is the double-CD compilation album by Japanese singer-songwriter Yōsui Inoue. The album was released in July 1999, celebrating his 30-year career as a solo recording artist. It comprises 35 tracks spanning his works after 1972; the year he released his debut album Danzetsu under the renewed stage name.
Golden Best debuted at the number-six on the Japanese Oricon chart and climbed the top in September 1999. It became one of the most successful albums for Inoue, entering the record chart for a year with sales of over 1.4 million copies. The label For Life Music Entertainment stated that Golden Best album has sold more than 2.06 million copies up to late 2008.
