Michael Jackson - Number Ones [2 LP, Black Vinyl, Gatefold]

Michael Jackson's Number Ones brings together the King of Pop's most iconic chart-toppers spanning three decades of unparalleled success. Released on November 18, 2003, the compilation debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 in the UK, featuring fourteen Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits drawn from Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous. This 2 LP black vinyl gatefold edition captures the album that sold over 10 million copies worldwide and earned 5x Platinum certification from the RIAA by 2021. Following Jackson's death in 2009, Number Ones became the No. 1 selling album in the United States for six non-consecutive weeks and ranked as the third best-selling album of 2009, while winning two American Music Awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Favorite Soul/R&B Album.

"Billie Jean" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks with its revolutionary bassline and paranoid lyrics, becoming Jackson's best-selling solo single. "Beat It" reached No. 1 on April 30, 1983, featuring Eddie Van Halen's blistering guitar solo and transforming MTV's programming forever. "Thriller" peaked at No. 4 but became a cultural phenomenon through its groundbreaking 14-minute music video. The compilation also features "Don't Bring Me Down," "Rock with You," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Man in the Mirror," "Dirty Diana," "Black or White," and "You Are Not Alone," Jackson's Guinness World Record-setting debut at No. 1. The album includes "One More Chance," written by R. Kelly, which became the final hit single released during Jackson's lifetime.

This 2 LP black vinyl gatefold pressing presents Number Ones across four sides, preserving the sonic brilliance of Quincy Jones' production and Jackson's vocal mastery. Following Jackson's death, the album became the first artist to sell more than one million music downloads in one week. Jackson is the only artist to have three albums (Thriller, Bad, and Number Ones) certified 10x Platinum or more in the UK. This vinyl reissue stands as the essential collection of pop music's most transformative artist, celebrating the unprecedented chart dominance that made Michael Jackson a global icon.
