The Very Best is a greatest hits album released by Australian band INXS in 2011. It initially peaked at #39.
Following the screening of INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, an Australian miniseries about INXS that commenced on 9 February 2014 on the Seven Network, the album re-entered the charts, peaking at #1. When the miniseries screened in New Zealand in August 2014, the album also charted, similarly peaking at #1.
The album was released in three formats; a single-disc version, a double-disc version and a double-disc version with a DVD.
The first disc has the same track listing as the single-disc edition.
The Very Best debuted and peaked at number 39 in Australia on 6 November 2011. When promotion began for the mini-series, it re-entered the charts at number 13 on 10 November 2013. With the airing on the mini-series in February 2014, the album slowly rose to number 1 on 17 February 2014. It became the first INXS "best of" album to reach number one in Australia.
The Very Best took 77 weeks before it reached number 1 and holds the record for the longest amount of weeks to rise to number 1 in ARIA chart history.
The Very Best was the highest selling album in Australia by an Australian artist in 2014 and the fourth overall.
