This is Music: The Singles 92–98 is a singles compilation album by the English alternative rock band the Verve. The compilation was released in November 2004 and included two previously unreleased tracks: "This Could Be My Moment" and "Monte Carlo". Nick McCabe did not participate in the songs, Simon Tong being the one that played lead guitar. The album was named after a track by the same name off their 1995 album A Northern Soul. The album cover is based on the cover of their 1992 single "She's a Superstar". In 2025 it was re-released on vinyl, replacing the two previously unreleased songs with the two singles from Forth. Consequently, for this edition, the 92–98 part of the title was dropped, although the sticker adds "1992–2008".
Track listing All tracks written by Richard Ashcroft, Simon Jones, Peter Salisbury, and Nick McCabe, except where noted.
