Covers is a compilation album of covers by British alternative rock band Placebo. The album was originally released as a bonus disc with the special edition version of Sleeping with Ghosts on 22 September 2003 through Hut Records and Astralwerks, which has since gone out of print. "Running Up that Hill" is mostly responsible for this digital release package.[1] After being used for the fourth-season premiere of The O.C., the song received much attention in both the U.S. and the UK, peaking at No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
