The Definitive Collection (Lionel Richie album)


The Definitive Collection is a greatest hits album by American pop musician Lionel Richie.
The album was initially released in the US as a one-disc compilation in February 2003. A limited edition release of the US version 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 Dancing on the Ceiling.
The album was unusual in that it hit the number-one spot on the UK Albums Chart 12 years after it was released, following a live performance by Richie described as "triumphant" at the Glastonbury Festival 2015. It became his first UK number one in 23 years.
