The Singles is a compilation album of singles and B-sides by the German experimental rock band Can, released in 2017.^[6]

Critical reception

The Quietus wrote that "as a collection that welcomes the near misses and the questionable latter-era caricaturing, The Singles is real and admirable testament to the full Can story."^[7]
