Dangerous was Michael Jackson’s eighth studio album. It was released on November 26, 1991. Dangerous has sold over 32 million copies and is known as one of the best selling albums of all time. It addressed things like ’racism, poverty, paranoia, romance, the welfare of children and the world and self-improvement’. Michael had never sung about a lot of these things before so this shocked not only fans but critics as well. The album received positive feedback.
