The Best of Mandy Moore is the first greatest hits album from American singer Mandy Moore, released on November 16, 2004 by Epic Records.
The compilation contains tracks from all of the singer's studio albums released up to 2003: So Real (1999), I Wanna Be with You (2000), Mandy Moore (2001) and Coverage (2003).
Mandy Moore was reportedly displeased that this collection, along with the album Candy, featured songs from her first two albums since she disowned that period of her career. The compilation did not receive any promotion or participation from Moore, was not released worldwide and landed at #148 in the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart. The DVD additionally featured music videos and live performances.
The album has sold 104,000 copies in the United States.
For an unknown reason, the "Walk Me Home" music video featured on the DVD portion of this album is edited from its original version. The plotline about how Moore is actually daydreaming about being with an actor is gone.
Moore's earliest hit to be featured on the album is "Candy", the first single from her debut album So Real (1999). This song stands as a classic example of a teen pop song from the late 1990s/early 2000s. The song was written, composed, and produced by Denise Rich, Dave Katz, Denny Kleiman, Jive Jones, Tony Battaglia and Shaun Fisher. "Candy" it performed only moderately well on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking just outside the top 40, at #41. It entered the chart on #88 and reached its peak in its eighth week on the chart. The two other songs that are included from So Real are: "Walk Me Home" and "So Real". The two singles failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, however, when "Walk Me Home" was re-released in 2000, it entered the Pop 100 chart on #39 and reached its peak #38 the following week. The song charted these only two weeks.
