Despite recent troubles, this album continues to sell well all over the world, even though it was released months ago. It seems people do have the intelligence to put the music first. The record company were responsible for the release of this and even though it is old material, it has been a huge success. It was released in November 2003 and it has now officially sold 4 million copies and this figure is continuing to rise. The album is a must for everyone, even non-fans. The DVD version has sold over 200 thousand copies in the UK.
The under-rated "One More Chance" is included and songs which didn't make it onto "History Part One" have been included. "One More Chance" reached number 5 in the UK singles charts.
Buyers can choose between 4 different CD covers. I bought the 1988 "Bad" period cover and the album was only £9.97 from Asda.
The down side is that the songs are all single edits, and many fans seem to prefer the album versions. The inclusion of "Break of Dawn" from the "Invincible" album remains a mystery to me. If they had to include a song which hasn't been released on single, never mind topped the charts, I would have preferred "Butterflies" or "2000 Watts".
My personal favourites in this greatest hits collection are "Rock With You", "Billie Jean", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "You Are Not Alone", "You Rock My World" and "One More Chance".
There should be something for everyone here. The styles vary from pop, soul, R 'n' B and light rock as well as dance. I've given the full track-listing below.
1 Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2 Rock With You 3 Billie Jean 4 Beat It 5 Thriller 6 Human Nature 7 I Just Can't Stop Loving You (Feat. Siedah Garrett) 8 Bad 9 The Way You Make Me Feel 10 Dirty Diana 11 Smooth Criminal 12 Black Or White 13 You Are Not Alone 14 Earth Song 15 Blood On The Dance Floor 16 You Rock My World 17 Break Of Dawn 18 One More Chance

I bought my boyfriend this as part of his Christmas goodie bag as he really likes quite a few of the songs. Not a big fan of Michael Jackson, he does seem a bit weird to me, but he has done some great songs! A little bit more info on the songs would help, Sarah x

Good song lists. Everyone must know most of the songs so no further info is needed.
'Break of Dawn' is an awful song. Good review.
