MICHAEL JACKSON GREATEST HITS ALBUM 2009 PLUS
Number Ones also offered singles from the second disc of HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, plus the title track from Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix and " You Rock My World", the hit single from Invincible. The versions of those songs were included exactly as they appeared on the original albums, whereas Number Ones included radio edits, single versions, and new edits. The latter sold over 5 million copies, comprised fifteen singles (fourteen of them Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits): three from Off the Wall, five from Thriller, four from Bad and three from Dangerous. In 2003, Sony released Number Ones, which was different from Greatest Hits: HIStory, Volume I in several ways. The album was also the third best-selling album of 2009 in the United States according to Nielsen Soundscan and ninth best-selling worldwide according to IFPI. With Number Ones, Jackson was the first artist to sell more than one million downloads in one week. At the 2009 American Music Awards, it won two awards - Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Favorite Soul/R&B Album. The rules preventing titles older than 18 months to chart on the Billboard 200 were subsequently changed in the fall of 2009 due to the posthumous success of Jackson, as well as The Beatles re-mastered re-releases.īy 2021, Number Ones was certified 5× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). However, as a 'catalog' title, initially Number Ones was excluded from the Billboard 200 denying Jackson a seventh solo number one album on the chart. The album eventually returned to the top spot in the UK and reached number one on the US charts after Jackson's sudden death in 2009, staying as the number one selling album in the United States for six non consecutive weeks and for twenty-seven weeks on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. Number Ones was successful around the world, originally reaching number one in the UK among other countries. Number Ones also features the last original single released during Jackson's lifetime, " One More Chance", released two days after the release of the album. The album included Jackson's singles that reportedly reached number 1 in charts around the world, hence the album's name. Number Ones was Jackson's first proper compilation album with Epic Records, after the release of the first disc of HIStory in 1995 (and after the re-release of that disc as a single album titled Greatest Hits: HIStory, Volume I in 2001). It was released on November 18, 2003, by Epic Records. Number Ones is a greatest hits album by American singer Michael Jackson.
