- ^a "Class" was filmed but cut from the final editing of the movie. The footage was later included on the DVD release and in the film's broadcast television premiere on NBC in 2005
- ^b "I Move On" is a song which Kander and Ebb wrote directly for the film adaptation, thus is not featured on the original Broadway musical.
- ^c Songs not featured in the film, bonus tracks.
- ^d A music video was released for the song but it was never officially released as a CD single for a worldwide market, as promoting it would have been impossible due to the singer's recently announced battle with breast cancer at that time. When Anastacia was shooting the video she had a 40 °C (104 °F) degree fever.
- ^c The song Roxie was featured in the Korean drama Come Back Mister!
Differences from the musical
- The songs "A Little Bit Of Good", "I Can't Do It Alone (Reprise)", "My Own Best Friend", "I Know A Girl", "Me and My Baby", "When Velma Takes The Stand", "Class", and "Finale" were cut from the Film, however most were repurposed in some way (such as the instrumental of "Me and My Baby" playing during its replacing scene).
- The Preface announced by a chorus member, heard at the start of the Overture was cut.
- The dialogue between Fred and Roxie heard at different points during "All That Jazz", with some of the lines repurposed as a scene after the end of the number.
- Some of Amos' speech during "Funny Honey" were cut from the song, instead stated before and after the number.
- "Cell Block Tango", and "When You're Good To Mama" were swapped in the runtime due to narrative changes.
- The song "Nowadays" and "Hot Honey Rag" appear together on the soundtrack.
- The song "Nowadays" has been changed by shortening Roxie and Velma's performance of the song and instead replacing it with Roxie auditioning with the song.
- The Finale has been cut, with elements of Roxie and Velma's speech being retained. However, at the end they only reprise the final phrase of "All That Jazz" instead of the entire last verse.
