Los Número Uno: Éxitos 1968-2003 (The Number Ones 1968-2003) (2003) is the twentieth album and second compilation album by Mexican rock and blues band El Tri. Going back to the end of the Sixties when the band was only a trio known as Three Souls in my Mind the compilation take a couple of songs 30 years old as well as hits up to the latest albums.
Raoul Hernandez of the The Austin Chronicle wrote that the album "unearths a familiar 35-year arc, stripped-down Sixties freneticism muscling into hard body rock evoking everyone from the Stones and Springsteen to ZZ Top."
