Best: Third Universe & 8th Al. Universe (BEST～third universe～ & 8th AL "UNIVERSE") is a double album by Kumi Koda, serving as her fifth greatest hits album, following Best: Bounce & Lovers and Out Works & Collaboration Best, and her 8th studio album, collecting songs from previous singles following her seventh album Trick. The covers resemble those of Best: Second Session, and Koda can be seen looking through the booklet for that album on the 2CD & 2CD+DVD edition cover. The greatest hits album contains songs from both single and album releases stretching from "Koi no Tsubomi (恋のつぼみ, Love Bud)" to "Stay with Me".

These albums were released in three editions, CD+Ringtone (only containing the greatest hits album Best: Third Universe and a serial number card access to download ringtones of all the songs from the studio album 8th Al. Universe, available only in Japan), 2CD (containing both the greatest hits and the 8th studio album) and 2CD+DVD (containing both albums and a DVD with the music videos for the songs on both albums). The album shifted 222,000 units within its first week, becoming the #1 album on the Oricon weekly charts.
