Was about to answer this (spoiler territory, i don’t know how to add the spoiler tag, please help)

“Here’s the tracklist for the official companion album which includes 13 of those”

These obviously aren’t all the songs that are in the movie. (Stating maybe spoilers below, but thought this was the best place to put it

That said, the tracklist below was ‘leaked’ a few weeks ago by an insider. Every song in the companion album was also listed (even WDAN all the way to the bottom instead of the usual off the wall period) so I think it’s fair to say that they were right

this one is actually funny because there wasn't an insider, just a random dude on reddit spreading this and everyone took it as real, as a lot of people do sending links of AI recreations in the unreleased thread. those are just random guesses but it's totally expected and estimated since those songs were either shown already or can be expected

Right, i stand corrected then. I misremembered about the insider thing, too much happening around this movie. Still, they hit the nail right on the head as of now

This is not the actual soundtrack for the film. It is just a compilation

Whatever it is, it’s the worst compilation ever.

Until Sony and the estate actuqally announce something official regarding the soundtrack, anything posted elsewhere (including reddit) needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

This is so infuriating. An absolute pisstake. Putting this out two months after Number Ones got reissued is mental.

It's now more obvious than ever their whole focus is on catering to new fans and that only.

Damn, even the Boh Rhap OST album had unreleased material (a few unheard live performances).

It also had one or two "movie" mixes. It was a very decent release to be fair.

What an absolute let down. Thought we'd at least get HOT STREET. I for one will not be buying it. Completed waste of time offering nothing different.

Delete! Mixed up

Maybe there'll be a new album or a standalone single release.

Michael’s discography is iconic but because they’re splitting it up in two parts I feel it makes it look a little weak.

I wanted the audience to hear hit after hit and come away from the cinema feeling blown away at how spectacular it is.

This is GENUINELY what I was expecting as the hits are what would print money for this movie. Even as someone who was not really looking forward to this, I don't know what to make of it all. There have been so many moving parts.

 

[R1chard]

No unreleased tracks, demo?

No. It's not the place. THIS IS A BIOPIC.

Typical useless estate. They can shove it. I hope the movie isn't as lazy as this soundtrack.

What did you expect them to do for a soundtrack?!

I wanted them to be lazy. That's the whole point. It's great. It means we get to ignore the whole thing. Nothing worse than having to buy a whole album just to hear one song. Nothing worse than having to skip ABC and Billie Jean just to get to the song you haven't heard before.

If that's the final tracklist, it's what I expected. They did a great job.

 

[R1chard]

This is so infuriating. An absolute pisstake. Putting this out two months after Number Ones got reissued is mental.

Agreed. There's already a stupid amount of greatest hits compilations.

It's now more obvious than ever their whole focus is on catering to new fans and that only.

Again, ITS A BIOPIC..

Damn, even the Boh Rhap OST album had unreleased material (a few unheard live performances).

And it's a terrible album to listen to. All over the place.

What Queen fans want is full unedited live shows, not short clips.

 

[MJbr2]

And it's a terrible album to listen to. All over the place.

My dude, no. It's a pretty solid OST album.

 

[archonten]

Whatever it is, it’s the worst compilation ever.

Complaining isn't going to change the tracklist

 

[archonten]

This is a companion album for the film. There is a 99% chance that there will be a separate OST album. This companion album is for the people who are non-fans who hear a song they liked in the movie and can easily find it via this album. It just has songs that were used in the movie.
