Pride: The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Plays U2

Pride: The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Plays U2 is a U2 tribute album recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in May 1998. It was released on April 20, 1999. Although it was released in 1999, it contains no material more recent than on U2's 1991 album Achtung Baby. The album was re-released on June 23, 2003 under the title The Hits of U2.

The original cover art of the album is a parody on the cover of U2's 1988 album Rattle and Hum.
