Chara the Best Baby Baby Baby XXX (チャラ・ザ・ベスト・ベイビー・ベイビー・ベイビー, Chara za Besuto Beibī Beibī Beibī^?) is the first best album of Chara, which was released on October 10, 1995.^[2] It features material from her first four studio albums, Sweet, Soul Kiss, Violet Blue and Happy Toy; as well as some new material. It debuted at #5 on the Japanese Oricon album charts, and charted in the top 200 for 13 weeks.^[3] It eventually sold 190,000 copies.

Two singles were released prior to the album. Tiny Tiny Tiny, an original single, was released in July, and reached #62 on the Oricon singles charts. A few weeks before the album, a remix EP called The Singles Re-Mixed was released.

The album does not feature all of Chara's singles released up until this point. No Toy (Re-Mix), Ōki na Jishin ga Kitatte (大きな地震がきたって, Even If There's a Great Earthquake^?), Mujintō ni Watashi o Motte Itte... (無人島に私をもっていって・・・, Take Me to a Deserted Island...^?) and Gifted Child are left out entirely. From Charlotte no Okurimono/Private Beach (シャーロットの贈り物, Charlotte's Web^?), only Charlotte no Okurimono is featured, however it is featured as the remixed version from The Singles Re-Mixed.

The album appears to be named because of her songs Baby Baby (featured on Happy Toy) and Soul Kiss xxx, however neither songs are on this collection. Soul Kiss xxx is the only album title track not present.
