I opted to ignore the Motown sessions because there is less appetite for it and I assume many people would be confused by adding those songs to his adult career. So basically everything from 1976 onwards should be added.
Songs not in this database are all officially released studio album tracks from both The Jacksons and Michael Jackson solo. This is why songs like we are the world, is it scary and one more chance can be found here, they were never released on a studio album.
These categories are courtesy of our respected member “AlwaysThere”.

Songs not in this database are all officially released studio album tracks from both The Jacksons and Michael Jackson solo. This is why songs like we are the world, is it scary and one more chance can be found here, they were never released on a studio album.
These categories are courtesy of our respected member “AlwaysThere”.
- Completed tracks: Songs with full vocals, background vocals, and ad-libs.
- Mostly-finished tracks: Songs that are complete enough for release, but are missing some non-vital elements, such as a bridge or background harmonies. Think songs like “Hollywood Tonight” (no bridge or third verse) or “She Got It” (one or two missing/half-sung lines).
- Advanced demos: Songs that aren’t complete enough for a formal release, but could be repurposed as posthumous features in the vein of “Don’t Matter to Me.” These usually feature full/mostly-full choruses and variable verses. Think songs like “Days in Gloucestershire” or “People of the World.”
- Partial demos: Songs that contain only chorus vocals, which themselves may reside in scratch/mumble territory. Think songs like “Adore You” or “Monster.”
- Rough demos: Songs that are still in early, embryonic form and consist of few discernible vocals, most of which are mumbles and scatting. Think songs like “Don’t Make Me Stay.”
- Unclear completion: Songs that are known to feature some vocals, but lack enough reputable data to be categorized elsewhere. Think songs like “Buffalo Bill” or “Tomboy.”
- Never recorded: Songs written by or for MJ that he, unfortunately, never recorded. Think songs like “Shut Up and Dance” or “Breed.”
- Classical pieces, scores, and experimental tracks: Songs that lack vocals by design. Think songs like “Homeless Bound” or “Lady of Summer.”
- N/A: Songs that have no known information behind them other than their titles.
