Tina Turner ‘Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll’ Retrospective Album On the Way

The late Tina Turner will be celebrated on the upcoming retrospective compilation, Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll, due out on Nov. 24 via Rhino Records. The 55-song set showcases Turner’s solo-billed singles from 1975 through 2020, including such Billboard Hot 100-charting hits as “What’s Love Got To Do With It” (a No. 1 from 1984), “The Best” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome).” The Billboard chart-topping artist died on May 24 at age 83.

Included on the collection is a reworked version of Turner’s “Something Beautiful Remains,” retitled to “Something Beautiful.” It was remixed by Turner’s longtime collaborator Terry Britten, who co-wrote and produced the original version of the song, released in 1996.

See the full tracklist below.

The Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll collection will be released via streaming services and as a five-vinyl LP box, a three-CD package, and a digital download album. An abbreviated 12-song version of the collection will simultaneously be issued on a single vinyl LP. All iterations of the album will include a foreword written by Bryan Adams. Turner and Adams scored a top 20-charting Hot 100 duet with “It’s Only Love,” released in 1985.

Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll also helps salute the 50th anniversary of the launch of Turner’s solo career in 1974 with her first solo album, Tina Turns the Country On!, which was released while she was still part of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. While that album missed Billboard’s charts and didn’t launch any singles, the following year saw Turner secure her first solo chart hits. The Acid Queen album reached No. 155 on the Billboard 200 in 1975 and No. 39 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (then-named Soul LPs) rankings, and launched her first solo-billed hit song on Billboard’s charts: a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” The single reached No. 61 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (then-named Hot Soul Singles).

Included on Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll are all of Turner’s post-Ike & Tina Turner Revue hits on the Hot 100 – 17 in total from 1984 through 1996. In addition, non-Hot 100 hits that charted on other key Billboard charts are represented, including “Afterglow,” “Cose Della Vita” (with Eros Ramazzotti), “Goldeneye,” “In Your Wildest Dreams” (featuring Barry White), “Look Me in the Heart,” “On Silent Wings,” “Open Arms,” “Tearing Us Apart” (with Eric Clapton), the 2020 remix of “What’s Love Got To Do With It” (with Kygo) and “When the Heartache Is Over.”
