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.^[2] 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 (as a hidden extra).

The album was unusual in that it hit the #1 spot on the UK Albums Chart 12 years after it was released, after a live performance by Richie described as 'triumphant' at the Glastonbury Festival 2015.^[3] It became his first UK #1 in 23 years. It also held a record for the shortest stay at #1. 5 days after reaching the top, it was replaced by Ed Sheeran's x.

There were essentially two Commodores -- the funk machine of the early '70s that kicked out such classics as 'Machine Gun' and 'Brick House,' then the Lionel Richie-led smooth soulsters that glided to the top of the charts with such cuts as 'Easy' and 'Three Times a Lady.' Motown's 2001 double disc collection Anthology very nearly splits those two phases in half, with the funk on the first disc and the balladeering on the second, with the important flaw of 'Easy' showing up as the final number of the first disc. This is a bit of a hiccup in sequencing, but if the collection is just seen as sheer music, this satisfies, since it contains all the big hits -- both pop crossovers and R&B smashes -- along with some lesser-known sides and album tracks. For some, it may be a bit much, but for the serious fan, this is the set to get.
