In all, Dangerous spent 117 weeks inside the Billboard 200, 30 weeks more than Bad. The RIAA certified Dangerous at 7x Platinum for 7 million copies. In the UK the album was even more successful.There it spent 23 weeks inside the Top 10.
The sales of the album were of just over 2 million, making Dangerous one of the UK's best selling albums of the nineties.

The first single released from the album, Black or White was an instant success. The album produced a total of 9 singles around the world (the title track was planned as a single for early 1994 but cancelled).
The major hits from the album were "Black or White", "Remember the Time", "In the Closet", "Heal the World", "Who Is It", and "Will You Be There".

Jackson supported the album with the Dangerous World Tour.

A Special Edition of the album appeared in 2001. It was digitally remastered and included a slipcase, a brand new 24-page colorful booklet with revised artwork and previously unseen photos.
