were able to generate at least five top 10 hits each in large part because many of their singles were accompanied by captivating music videos that were endlessly promoted on what had become the world's most influential musical outlet. And Michael Jackson, who had helped the channel go truly global with videos for's"Beat It,""Billie Jean" and the title track, was the station's unquestioned male lead.
The late '80s saw a particularly high concentration of singles hitting the top of the Hot 100, with 33 separate singles spending time at No. 1 in 1988 , and only one single reigning at the chart's apex for as many as four weeks. By contrast, only 17 singles reached pole position on the Hot 100 in 1983 -- including both of's No. 1s -- and seven separate songs reigned for at least four weeks. It was easier for Jackson to score more No.
What happened? Did Billboard finally see the truth;that Michael Jackson’s always been innocent 😇?! I remember when Billboard was going to ban or ignore MJ ‘s phenomenal accomplishments. I thought you were wrongfully disrespectful to the Greatest Entertainer in the World!
LEGEND!
The fact that this man could not only sing high and low notes but also rap and made a classical music song is insane. His songs we’re unique, original and he not only sang but produced them as well, magnificent. He contracted the best dancers in the world, but he danced better.
Best album ever
An article from 2017 - thanks anyway for Tweeting it. Obviously you need MJ (and his fan audience) to boost your web clicks.
Amazing album! 💖
Didnt yall post this before
MJHIStorySource Bad is needed in this our difficult time.

naisha48 He added the song “Leave Me Alone” in later press copies of the album—maybe about a yr later? That song went to number one also. Weird that it still isn’t considered a SIX no. 1 singles album by you guys? Pff! Even today when you buy the BAD album “Leave me alone” is present.

Pearl Jr attended MJ trials/events+read legal documents+spent 1000s of hours researching & discovered MJ faked his death. See proof+evidence+facts+clues:
Kiiiiiing👑🙌🏻
Lmao Thriller who? OTW & Bad
And yet, the Grammies snubbed him. This man was done wrong, in so many ways. I don’t want to wait 60 yrs before he is accorded justice like it took for Sam Cooke, Jack Johnson or the Tulsa massacre. Set it right, NOW.. when ppl who are to be held accountable are still alive.
Isn't the album cover pretty iconic and famous. Possibly even moreso than Thriller, in that it's the one I often see on T-shirts and standees.
DannyMJOliver Why you tweeting about a 2017 article as if it were today? I mean, it's nice that you be respectable to this poor guy who got dragged through the tabloids cos of proven scammers but yeah ok. I haven't listened to his whole catalogue but 'Bad' has most of the songs I like.
Dirty Diana is my favorite MJ song. The end.
Le KING tout simplement

A (new) article on MichaelJackson’s HIStory album, 25 years old, would be great. Well worth revisiting, not just because of what his legacy has faced in the last year, but more generally what is happening in the World right now. Entirely appropriate, sadly. AmplifyMJ ❤️

Katy P scored 6 1 singles in one album, but yall changed the rules and excluded Part Of Me
I can literally remember my disappointment with the album 'Bad.' Like, at age 10 I understood he peeked and this album would be a commercial success but would pale in comparison to 'Thriller.' I remember thinking some songs would hit only because it was MJ
Greatest to ever do it. If you feel the same follow me cuz we got something in common. f4f
