Michael Jackson – Bad (Album)

After the monumental success of Thriller, Michael Jackson and co-producer/collaborator Quincy Jones produced a slicker funk/dance confection.
Bad is currently certified at 8x Platinum by the RIAA in the United States, and worldwide has sold an estimated 32 million copies. In addition it achieved 5 #1 singles in the U.S., a record that has never been broken.

Michael Jackson set another record with this album, becoming the first (and currently, only) artist to have five songs to hit #1 from one album.

It turned out to be the last collaborative effort by Jackson and Jones.

In September of 1987, Jackson embarked upon his first solo world tour to support this album – The Bad Tour, which saw Jackson during the next sixteen months perform 123 concerts to over 4.4 million fans worldwide.

In 2001, a special edition was released with three new songs and a booklet containing lyrics and never-before-seen photos.
