[edit] Notes

  • On Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart for the week ending August 20, 2005, "Seasons of Love" debuted at #68.
  • "La Vie Boheme A" and "La Vie Boheme B" are joined together on the highlights album.
  • Notes on the bonus track Love Heals (taken from the CD case booklet of "RENT: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack"):
Jonathan [Larson] wrote LOVE HEALS while working on RENT, to help in the efforts of Love Heals — the Alison Gertz Foundation for AIDS education. Alison was one of the first heterosexual women to contract AIDS from a "one night stand." He wanted to help her and the organization in the best way he could: with music. Although not written for RENT, we have included this bonus track as a tribute to Jonathan and to help further the cause of AIDS education.
