Adios: The Greatest Hits is the second official compilation album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline, released on August 1, 2006 by ForeFront Records.
Released a full year after their last studio album Until My Heart Caves In and after announcing that Audio A was disbanding due to lead singer Mark Stuart's vocal cords, this collection features 15 of the band's biggest hits including "Big House," "Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus," "Hands and Feet," "Ocean Floor" and "Leaving 99." Like their first "Best of" album Hit Parade, it also contains two new recordings:
"Blaze of Glory" and "Goodbye."
The CD was also sold as a combo with a DVD making it a Special Edition. The DVD contains over an hour of content with music videos, an Audio Adrenaline documentary with commentary from other Christian artists paying tribute to the band and a photo gallery. The Special Edition CD audio also contains a cover of Charlie Peacock's "Down in the Lowlands" as a bonus track.
Adios: The Greatest Hits debuted and peaked at number 4 and number 103 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and the Billboard 200 Albums charts,
respectively.
