Singles is a two CD compilation of New Order's 1981–2005 singles, released on 3 October 2005. Unlike the CD version of earlier singles compilation Substance, the B-sides are not included. While Substance aimed to showcase New Order's 12" singles, Singles instead features mostly 7" versions, some of which are rare and differ from album versions.

Notable inclusions are early singles that have never appeared on CD in their original form: "Ceremony", "Everything's Gone Green" and "Temptation". Additionally, an edit of the "Rough mix" of the song "Confusion" was created exclusively for this compilation. One song, "Turn" was released on this album in a new edited form, despite never being a single.

2016 Re-release

An updated edition of Singles was released in 2016. The 2016 version adds "I'll Stay With You" from the 2013 album Lost Sirens, and replaces the versions of “1963," "Run 2," "Bizarre Love Triangle," "True Faith," "Spooky," "Confusion," and "The Perfect Kiss.” The re-release was remastered by Frank Arkwright,[5] and fixes the compression issues prevalent on the 2005 version.
