The era of BAD represented Michael Jackson’s creative ‘coming of age’ as a solo artist in charge of every aspect of his career – from recording to touring to endorsements to merchandising. This was the first album on which nearly all of the songs were written by Michael. It was also the first album in history to produce FIVE consecutive #1 singles. It was also the first time Michael would tour as a solo artist – his vision, his decisions on what the show would be. The enormous success of the BAD album and tour was a pivotal moment in Michael Jackson’s growth as a composer, performer and producer, cementing his role the King of Pop.

BAD produced ten chart-topping singles, nine ground breaking short films and to date, the Bad album has generated over 45 million units in sales. BAD was nominated for six Grammys ad won two; the album earned Michael the first-ever Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMA Awards.
