Michael Jackson | Number Ones (Vinyl)

Michael Jackson stands among the most celebrated and widely-recognized musicians of the modern era, a towering figure often hailed as the King of Pop.

MJ began his career as the standout lead singer of the Jackson 5 before redefining the possibilities of solo stardom with a string of landmark albums and chart-topping singles. But noone could have predicted just how profound and impact his solo career would have. From the disco-funk pulse of 'Off the Wall' to the record-breaking phenomenon of Thriller and the hard-edged pop of 'Bad' and 'Dangerous', his catalogue consistently drawed massive global attention. 'Thriller', in particular, not only shattered sales records to become the best-selling album of all time but also set a new standard for artistic ambition in popular music. A monumental artistic and commercial achievement, that is still the benchmark on which pop music is measured to this day.

Across multiple decades, MJ was the man to beat on the global charts, continually earning record-breaking sales milestones, and crafting a catalogue that shaped the sound and visual language of modern pop. His innovative approach to performance, from dance to fashion to long-form videos, helped define how artists connect with audiences on a worldwide scale.

In a genre often characterized by immediacy and passing trends, it cannot be overstated how extraordinary an achievement it is, that Michael Jackson's pop hits of the 80s and 90s still find new listeners and inspire artists across genres decades later.

'Number Ones' is a testament to this achievement. A collection for pop fans new and old with songs of a power that will be forever unmatched, whether it's "Billie Jean," "Smooth Criminal," "Thriller," "Black or White," "Bad," or "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough."
