- The United States version of this soundtrack features an entirely different cover artwork.
- A digital re-release of the soundtrack features the original Canadian cover artwork with a blue-tint to it.
- iTunes has two versions of this soundtrack in both the United States and Canada, one titled "Songs from Instant Star" and the other incorrectly titled "Songs From Instant Star."

Neither version has the correct artwork for the United States version of the soundtrack.
