'''''A Collection''''' is the first [[greatest hits album]] of American [[pop music|pop]]-[[Classical music|classical]] singer [[Josh Groban]]. It was released in late 2008 internationally.
 
The compilation takes tracks from his first three studio albums, ''[[Josh Groban (album)|Josh Groban]]'' (2001), ''[[Closer (Josh Groban album)|Closer]]'' (2003), ''[[Awake (Josh Groban album)|Awake]]'' (2006), as well as Groban's version of the ''[[Chess (musical)|Chess]]'' song "Anthem", from the 2009 ''Chess in Concert'' release. It contains one new song, a live version of "Weeping" (originally recorded for ''Awake'') featuring [[South African people|South African]] singer [[Vusi Mahlasela]] and the [[Soweto Gospel Choir]]. It also features "Smile", previously only available via the Internet edition of "''Awake"''.
 
The album also comes with a second disc of five selections from Groban's 2007 [[Christmas music|holiday]] album ''[[Noël (Josh Groban album)|Noël]]'' as well as a [[Spanish language|Spanish]] version of "[[Silent Night]]" (Noche de Paz).
