All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra is a compilation album by the Electric Light Orchestra, released in 2005. Originally released exclusively in the band's home market (the UK), the album sold very well, becoming the ELO's first Top Ten entry since Dino Record's compilation album The Very Best of the Electric Light Orchestra hit number 4 in 1994. All Over the World sold over 300,000 copies in the UK alone within a year and a half of its release. The albums The Electric Light Orchestra, ELO 2, Eldorado, and Balance of Power were not represented on the compilation.
The album was repackaged with new album art and re released on 30 May 2011, once more reaching the UK top ten. It sold 848,021 copies by December 2014.[5] Following the band's appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in the legends slot in 2016, the album re-entered the chart,[6] reaching No. 1 in the week ending 4 August 2016,[7] and passed its million sales mark 11 years after its release.[8]
Not to be confused with Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra, an album of new re-recordings by Lynne of ELO's greatest hits, released under the ELO name on 8 October 2012.
