Motown’s Expanded ‘Complete No. 1s’ Set Adds Even More Chart-Toppers

Motown/UMe has announced the latest element in the 60th anniversary celebrations of Motown Records, with the 28 June global release of a newly-expanded edition of 2008’s Motown: The Complete No. 1’s box set. It will be available digitally and in the eye-catching physical release, in which the 11 CDs are housed in a replica of Motown’s original Hitsville USA headquarters in Detroit, Michigan, now home to the Motown Museum. 

The collection features a staggering total of 208 chart-topping Motown hits, including such indelible classics as the Four Tops’ ‘I Can’t Help Myself,’ Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On,’ the Jackson 5’s ‘ABC,’ Martha & the Vandellas’ ‘Dancing In The Street,’ The Marvelettes’ ‘Please Mr. Postman,’ Diana Ross’ ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,’ Smokey Robinson & the Miracles’ ‘I Second That Emotion,’ the Supremes’ ‘Where Did Our Love Go,’ the Temptations’ ‘Ain’t Too Proud To Beg’ and Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).’

The new edition of the box set adds ten bonus tracks across its first ten discs. All pf these are Motown gems that went to No. 1 when covered by other artists. These include David Bowie and Mick Jagger’s Live Aid-benefitting remake of ‘Dancing In The Street’ and Coolio featuring LV’s ‘Gangsta’s Paradise,’ based around Stevie Wonder’s ‘Pastime Paradise.’

The newly-added Disc 11 in the set adds six more Motown No. 1s, including two that were not in the 2008 release and two Diana Ross remixes that have more recently topped Billboard’s dance chart: ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (2017 Remix)’ and ‘I’m Coming Out’/’Upside Down (2018 Mix).’

The box set also contains an exclusive 100-page book with rare and classic photographs, detailed track annotations and an introduction by Smokey Robinson, himself responsible for 20 Motown No. 1s, with the Miracles and as a solo artist.

The newly-expanded Motown: The Complete No. 1’s is released on 28 June. Scroll down for the full tracklisting, and pre-order it here.
