After all, it has 6 number one hits on it and also Dancing Machine. It's a pretty good Motown compilation.

Weird since another Motown Comp for the Biopic releases on May 20
 
In Japan only.
Then just make it available globally instead of this one. But yea, they did try to go with the MJ hype during 2009, 2010 and 2012 as well, releasing projects like I Want You Back and Come And Get It when other projects were being released.
 
I have to reiterate my displeasure with the soundtrack. It sucks that Dancing Machine and Rock With You are missing. These are milestones in Michael's career, but Who's Lovin' You is nothing more than a footnote. Michael even invented the robot for Dancing Machine. I fear that both songs will also be missing from the film.

the mid-70s period is completely irrelevant to the movie, you can't fit everything in a 2h movie while still having very good story-telling

What about the influence of Rock with You? Watch this:

doesn't mean the song and every single other one which has deeper meaning behind it, so nearly every song in his catalogue, has to be included

RWY was Michael's biggest hit to date. This isn't just any song.
 
Doesn't mean it would benefit the story, I mean it is included from what I heard some time ago but if you go into each song into detail, it will damage the movie
 
Seeing that Shake Your Body wasn't included in the Michael soundtrack, they have to release the Victory Tour some time
 
After all, it has 6 number one hits on it and also Dancing Machine. It's a pretty good Motown compilation.
8 if you count the UK charts where, 'One day in your life' and 'Show you the way to go' topped the charts in the 80s.

I've counted 6 #1s and 4 #2s so far.

I Want You Back (The Jackson 5) - USA #1
ABC (The Jackson 5) - USA #1
The Love You Save (The Jackson 5) - USA #1
I’ll Be There (The Jackson 5) - USA #1
Ben - USA #1
One Day In Your Life (Michael Jackson) - UK #1 (1981)

Show you the way to go isn't on the album, but went to # 1 in the UK in 1977.

Dancing Machine – Single Version (The Jackson 5) - USA #2
Never Can Say Goodbye – Single Version (The Jackson 5) - USA #2
Rockin’ Robin (Michael Jackson) - USA #2
Mama’s Pearl (The Jackson 5) - USA #2

Either way, the Motown compilation is packed with hits. What's still missing is perhaps Somebody's Watching Me, which became a number 2 hit in the US in 1984 and was released by Motown at the time.

Yeah, that's a pretty good Motown compilation. Very similar to "18 Greatest Hits", which is fantastic.

Is there already a published date?
It's just a playlist - you list listen to it right now.
 
Wondering whether the soundtrack will get a more deluxe version with more tracks later on, or not.
