Lovely Way

"Get Your Weight Off Of Me" was not reworked for Xscape.
 
Chicago 1945 was removed in the last moment. Because Estate already put a song called "Chicago" in Xscape set list, they had to change She Was Loving Me into Chicago

I was always under the impression that they changed She Was Lovin' Me into Chicago, because they didn't want the first 3 song titles on the album to feature the word love? I speak with no authority on that though

I remember in late 2013, Timbaland mentioned in a video that he thought Chicago should be lead single "because it sounds like today" at the time we all thought he was referring to Chicago 1945.

Cory Rooney mentioned in an interview with Damien Shields (I think) that She Was Lovin' Me was never referred to as Chicago. They changed the name before the album release

No that is not true. It was not even used, but mentioned but they couldn’t move forward with anything due to Steve Porcaro because he didn’t approve of straight to remixing.

Then why did they change SWLM into Chicago? I read somewhere, that they couldn't change set list
 
So this is the final list:

Michael:

-She Was Loving Me/Chicago - [Invincible Sessions]
-What A Lovely Way To Go/Lovely Way - [Off The Wall/Thriller Sessions]
-Slave To The Rhythm [Dangerous Sessions]
-Do You Know Where Your Children Are [Bad Sessions]
-Blue Gangsta [Invincible Sessions]
-A Place With No Name [Invincible Sessions]
-Throwing Your Life Away [Bad Sessions]
-Who Do You Know (?) [Thriller Sessions]


Xscape:
-Hot Fun In The Summertime [Off The Wall Sessions?]
-Chicago 1945 [Thriller/Bad Sessions]
-Throwing Your Life Away [Bad Sessions]
-Get Your Weight Off Of Me [Invincible Sessions]
-I Was The Loser [Post-Invincible Sessions]
-Dream Away (?) [Thriller Sessions]
-Who Do You Know (?) [Thriller Sessions]
-Turning Me Off [Bad Sessions?]

Is there anymore?
 
So we’re any of the bonus cuts from the acetate version of Dangerous special edition considered?

Nope. The Estate seems to ignore the Bryan Loren tracks exist.

Also, I think Hot Fun is post-1985 since it's a Sly and the Family Stone cover, which was part of the ATV catalogue.

I don't understand why Throwing Your Life Away was skipped twice.

Allegedly the multitrack was lost in MJ’s lifetime and a proper mix was never done. Hard to release something on an album if you can’t mix it.
