Invincible is an album by Michael Jackson released on October 30, 2001. The cover art of this album was a simple design of just Michael’s face. It was available in the standard silver edition, or four limited colours: red, green, yellow and blue.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and sold 366,000 copies its first week in the U.S.

It had sold 5.4 million copies worldwide in two months and has sold an estimated amount of up to 8 million copies to date. The singles released from the album include "You Rock My World", "Cry", and "Butterflies". The album included guests performances by Carlos Santana, Brandy and posthumous appearances by The Notorious B.I.G. and Rod Serling.

The single "You Rock My World" peaked at #10 in its third week on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and "Butterflies" later peaked at #14 on the same chart, and at #2 for 5 weeks on the R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart. "Heaven Can Wait" also charted at the bottom of the R&B/Hip-Hop charts due to radio airplay without an official release.

On Invincible, Michael Jackson expanded his vocal abilities as well as his instrumental involvement on the album, playing most of the instruments and performing much of the programming tasks in collaboration with producers Rodney Jerkins, Teddy Riley, and Dr. Freeze.
