The Definitive Collection is a compilation album by American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie, released in 2003 by Motown. It compiles the hit singles from Richie's solo career, as well as select singles released during his time with the Commodores. The album was initially released in North America as a single-disc compilation in February 2003; a limited edition release included a bonus disc with rare extra tracks. A two-disc edition was released for the international market which collects 38 songs over 20 years. A special edition of the album was released later which includes a DVD selecting highlights throughout this period of Richie's career. The DVD also includes a live performance from Amsterdam and the making of the Dancing on the Ceiling music video, as a hidden extra. The album was unusual in that it hit the number-one spot on the UK Albums Chart twelve years after it was first released, following a live performance by Richie described as "triumphant" at Glastonbury Festival 2015. It became his first UK number one in 23 years. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Def...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
