  • The Best of D:Ream was the first official compilation album from Northern Irish pop/dance band D:Ream, issued by Magnet Records label, and distributed by major Warner Bros.

It was released in May 1997, just after their UK and U.S. Dance Number 1 hit, Things Can Only Get Better, was re-released for the second time, re-entering the UK Top 20 Singles Chart at Number 19. The song received much publicity from the fact that it was later adopted by the UK Labour Party as their theme for the 1997 UK General Election. The group's record company, in agreement with leader Peter Cunnah, who decided to call it quits with D:Ream, chose to issue this greatest hits collection, instead of their third studio album, which was to be called Heap of Faith, and has since never been released. The compilation contains 12 tracks taken from their two studio albums, 1993's D:Ream On Volume 1, and 1995's World. Including the re-released "Things Can Only Get Better", the album consists of the seven singles taken from their debut, the three singles from their second album and two more tracks from the latter ("Hold Me Now" and "Heart of Gold") which were never released as singles. This compilation failed to chart in the UK. (en)
  • The Best of D:Ream è la prima raccolta di successi ufficiale dalla band britannica pop rock / synthpop / dance dei D:Ream, pubblicata su etichetta Magnet Records, e distribuita dalla major Warner Bros., con la gestione della FXU Management. È uscita nel mese di maggio del 1997, esattamente dopo che la seconda ristampa di Things Can Only Get Better (Numero Uno nella UK Albums Chart e nella Hot Dance Club Play, all'inizio del 1994) è rientrata nella Top 20 della UK Singles Chart al Numero 19. La canzone ha ricevuto molta pubblicità per il fatto di essere stata adottata dal Partito Laburista come tema per l'Elezione Generale Britannica del 1997. La casa discografica del gruppo, d'accordo con il leader dei D:Ream, Peter Cunnah, che aveva già deciso di porre fine al progetto, ha scelto di pubblicare questo greatest hits, invece del terzo album di studio della band, che avrebbe dovuto chiamarsi "Heap of Faith", rimasto inedito. La raccolta contiene 12 tracce, originariamente incluse sui primi ed unici due album del gruppo, "D:Ream On Volume 1", del 1993, e World, del 1995 (entrambi Top 5 nella UK Albums Chart), e comprende anche, oltre alla citata Numero 1, Things Can Only Get Better, tutti e 7 i singoli estratti dall'album d'esordio, i 3 singoli dal secondo lavoro, più 2 canzoni mai pubblicate su singolo, originariamente contenute su "World", cioè Hold Me Now e Heart of Gold. Questa raccolta di successi, nonostante il rinnovato successo della Numero 1 del gruppo, non è mai entrata in classifica. Dopo l'uscita della collection, il cantante, compositore, musicista e produttore Peter Cunnah ha deciso sia di continuare come artista solista, sia di lavorare, dietro le quinte, per altri gruppi e artisti, prima di formare una nuova band, stavolta incentrata sul sound della chitarra (il suo primo strumento), che risponde al nome di , e che ha debuttato con il singolo intitolato The Weight of It, uscito a maggio del 2006.
