'''''Singles of the 90s''''' is a [[compilation album]] by Swedish [[pop music]] group, [[Ace of Base]].
==Background==
''Singles of the 90s'' was released on November 15, 1999, in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The band had begun work on their fourth studio album (''[[Da Capo (Ace of Base album)|Da Capo]]''), when they were approached by their label to put out a greatest hits release.  Jonas Berggren, the band's main composer, initially refused the offer, claiming the idea for a singles package was premature.  In the end, the band relented and offered three songs titled "Hallo Hallo", "C'est La Vie," and "Love in December", which was co-written by all four band members.
An American counterpart, ''[[Greatest Hits (Ace of Base album)|Greatest Hits]]'', was released the following year on April 18, 2000, and included only "C'est La Vie" of the three new tracks. This release included a track error at the beginning of "The Sign" and sold poorly. ''Singles of the 90s'' was released in the US via iTunes in 2007 despite the ''Greatest Hits'' release.
