It is the band's third compilation album, after Forever Delayed: Manic Street Preachers, The Greatest Hits (2002), and the B-sides/rarities collection Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers) (2003). National Treasures includes most of the band's singles from 1991's "Motown Junk" to 2011's "This Is the Day".

(1994), only "Love's Sweet Exile" and "Faster" are included.
