U2 best of to include Green Day collaboration

U2 will release a 16-track best of compilation including their cover of The Skids' The Saints Are Coming with Green Day, with proceeds to Music Rising.

U2 have announced that they are to release a new best of compilation and it will feature their previously reported collaboration with Green Day, their joint cover of The Skids' 'The Saints Are Coming'. The track was, of course, recorded at Abbey Road, and debuted live at the New Orleans Superdome last week. It's to be released in the US on 30 Oct as a download, with a physical release to follow on 6 Nov, with proceeds going to the Music Rising charity.

Anyway, back to the best of compilation. Actually, I don't know much about it. Apart from that there will be songs on it. Sixteen of them, apparently.
