“[…] Michael Jackson understood his talent—and what he was willing to do for it—better than we ever have.” - John Jeremiah Sullivan, GQ.com
August 31, 1987: Michael Jackson released his seventh studio album, BAD.
Shortly after it’s release Bad started its six-week run on top the US album chart in that small time it managed to achieve five No. 1 singles. The singles that reached the top were “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Man in the Mirror” and “Dirty Diana.” No other artist had been able to beat that level of success until Katy Perry matched his record in 2010 with her album Teenage Dream.
Michael Jackson was nominated for six Grammy Awards after the release of Bad, “Album of the Year”, “Best Pop Vocal Performance – Male” and “Best R&B Vocal Performance – Male” as well as “Record of the Year” for “Man in the Mirror” that following year. In the end Bad won Grammy’s for “Best Engineered Recording” and “Best Music Video Short Form” for “Leave Me Alone” in 1990.
(Leave Me Alone wasn’t included in the original release of BAD, but was later released on the CD version then LP.)
And during all this time BAD World tour ended up breaking world records.
One for a record-setting revenue of over $124 million made during the tour.
The other for most successful concert series which sold out seven nights at Wembley Stadium in London in1988 with a total of 504,000 fans attending the shows.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Bad nine time platinum for having shipped nine million copies in the United States alone. Internationally, Bad was commercially successful. In the United Kingdom the album sold 500,000 copies in its first five days of release, and as of 2008 is certified 13× platinum, for sales of 3.9 million, making it Michael’s second biggest-selling album in the United Kingdom.
Happy 28th Birthday BAD…..~
Thank you to all the amazing people who worked on the album, (Thanks to wikipedia for the long list!)
