The Very Best of Billy Idol: Idolize Yourself is a greatest hits album by the English rock singer Billy Idol, released on 24 June 2008 by Capitol Records. It features 16 of Idol's past singles, as well as two new tracks, "John Wayne" and "New Future Weapon". An additional new track, "Fractured", is available exclusively through download retailers. A deluxe CD/DVD set containing 13 music videos was also released. The compilation omitted all videos from the Cyberpunk era and all singles and videos from Devil's Playground. "John Wayne" was later re-recorded for Idol's ninth studio album Dream Into It.
