The Wiggles - The Best from 30 Years is a 2021 greatest hits album cover all eras of The Wiggles up to that point. However, unlike other compilation and greatest hits albums, this features songs from every part of the group's catalogue, from nursery rhymes and traditional songs, to forgotten classics, and even character themes and guest star songs. Because of this, the album exceeds We're All Fruit Salad!'s record of 40 songs, by having 115 songs (excluding bonus tracks).

The album was released on September 20, 2021, the 28th anniversary of the original Wiggle Time video. For the link to the Spotify playlist (including all but one song, possibly due to online copyright issues), here.

Goofs

• The track-list order is inconsistent between the videos and the albums, as songs are presented earlier or later than usual. For example, Fruit Salad actually debuted in 1993 in the Wiggle Time video, but later appeared in the Yummy Yummy album. However, the albums and the videos followed the chronology of the official releases, meaning the albums followed the official album order, and the videos followed the official video order.
• Here Come The Wiggles is listed as coming from Fun and Games, however, the instrumental track is from the original in It's a Wiggly Wiggly World!.

Trivia

• Many in-jokes were established, including:
  • Murray's Guitar Riff - Being the starting riff in It's a Christmas Party, On The Goodship Feathersword and the transition riff in Play Your Guitar With Murray, established in the Wiggly Anniversary Medley.
  • Greg and Lachy's Voices - The voices sounding so similar in various songs, established in some songs in the album.
• Some famous songs were excluded from the collection, which include:
  • Shaky Shaky was omitted, as it was removed from contention very early in development. However, it's unknown why it was removed so early.
  • Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?) was omitted, as Romp Bomp A Stomp was chosen to be Dorothy's song from Wake Up Jeff!, as two songs would prove to be too much.
  • Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car was the most popular song omitted, due to the fact that it didn't seem to fit in the theme of the album. There were also troubles on making a re-recording of all members, as it was all or nothing for this song.
  • Bit By Bit (We're Building A Set) was considered to be included, despite not being popular enough in the wider audience. It was confirmed that if it weren't for Top of the Tots having more popular songs, it would've been included.
  • Beep! Beep! Buckle Up! was probably the second biggest omission of the album, however, it was simply because that because it was released as a single first, it was forgotten in the process. That said, the balance was already inconsistent due to the theme of best from each year.
  • Pappadum was omitted, due to recent controversy with the song. As such, it was deemed too risky to be included.
