"The Singles Collection: 2001-2011, the career-spanning best of from Gorillaz, will be released on November 29 2011 by EMI's Virgin Records.
A 15-track collection of the band's singles, videos and remixes, The Singles Collection: 2001-2011 celebrates 10 years of audio visual innovation and three studio albums from the most successful virtual band in the world ever.
