Tracks is the first compilation album by Italian singer-songwriter Vasco Rossi, released by EMI Records on 22 November 2002.[1][2] Tracks was released as a double album featuring 24 songs, including hits released by Vasco Rossi at the beginning of his career, such as "Splendida giornata", as well as more recent singles.[3] It was preceded by the single "Generale", a previously unreleased live cover of the song originally written and recorded by Francesco De Gregori. The single was recorded live on 7 July 1995 at the San Siro stadium in Milan.[4]

The album was the best-selling record of 2002 in Italy. According to EMI Record, it had sold more than 650,000 units by the end of the year, despite being released in late November.[5][6] Tracks also received a nomination for Best Italian Album at the Italian Music Awards 2003.[7]
