The soundtrack's highlights include plenty of great tracks from the newest Tracy Turnblad, Maddie Baillio, and her costars, including Ephraim Sykes as Seaweed, Martin Short and Harvey Fierstein as Tracy's in-love parents, Kristin Chenoweth, Derek Hough and more—including a powerhouse duet between stars Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson.

Hudson deemed their song "two powerhouse vocalists just singing together," and teased the moment to E! News.

"It's exciting, it's fun. I'm a fan of her, so it's like, we get to sing together—when I found that out I was like, ‘Oh yes, let's get into it.' It's another cool thing I get to add to my list, that's for sure," she told us.

Grande says the song, called "Come so Far (Got so Far to Go)," is an encouraging message for 2016.

"The message in the song is exactly what we need right now," Grande told E! News. "Because the hook says, 'We've come so far, but we've got so far to go,' which is exactly where we're at right now. It's exactly why we're supposed to be doing this show right now, cosmically. The world needs to hear it in a fun musical way, it's a message that we need to get out there."
