NEW YORK (Billboard) - R&B label Motown will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a mammoth boxed set, "Motown: The Complete No. 1's."

Due December 9, the 10-disc package features 191 songs, all of which have topped a chart in the United States or internationally.

Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, the Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas, Mary Wells, the Temptations and Gladys Knight & the Pips are represented throughout "The Complete No. 1s."

Ten bonus tracks round up cover versions of Motown songs that reached the top of the charts, including singles from acts such as Vanessa Williams, Jodeci, Coolio featuring L.V., Blood, Sweat & Tears and David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

Sounds good but I bet it's going to be very expensive.

I love Motown Music. I'd love to have that set!

Looks good but I think I will pass. Not big on Motown once they went Hollywood.

However I would love to own those complete singles boxed sets they are currently doing over at Hip O-Select.

I got a buddy of mine who has gotten all of them so far, and cant stop raving about them. They got a lot of lost gems from their lesser to unknown artists and groups. Just wish I had to funds to buy them all, because it would be cool to have the all of the Detroit Motown era in one spot.
