Oy. Where to start with "We Are the World," the biggest charity singleof all time, which recruited 46 singers to contribute a few words each to raise funds to combat poverty in Africa. Co-written by Jackson and Lionel Richie, "We Are the World" may have raised more than $75 million for the USA for Africa organization, but it's less a real song than...
The first single from Jackson's "Bad" album is also its weakest one. There's nothing egregiously wrong with "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" – it's just that, when it comes to the many superior Jackson hits that missed the No. 1 spot, the song's inclusion on this list feels like a fluke. 12. "Ben" (1972) After becoming the youngest artist to collabor...
With "Bad," Jackson became the first and only male artistto chart five No. 1 hits from one album. Its title track is a testament to how formidable Jackson's singles catalog is: a perfectly strong track in its own right but one that barely cracks the top 10 of his own No. 1s.
“Say Say Say” deserves an apology – or at the very least, a second listen – from every listener who writes off Jackson’s collaborations with McCartney as less than the sum of the two artists’ parts. “Say Say Say” picks up the pace while splitting its verses in two, handing McCartney the earnest opening notes while letting Jackson wail away on his a...
A favorite from Jackson's fifth solo album, “Off the Wall,” the breezy “Rock With You” only scratches the surface of Jackson and Quincy Jones’ collaborations to come.
Some parts of Jackson’s racial-unity anthem hold up less than flawlessly in the current cultural climate, with lines like “I’m not going to spend my life being a color” that are probably in need of some unpacking. Yet “Black or White” actually bangs, its undeniably great guitar line vaulting the song to the best of Jackson’s ’90s No. 1s.
Sandwiched in the “Bad” album run of singles between the swaggering title track and the more profound “Man in the Mirror,” “The Way You Make Me Feel” is proof that, even almost two decades into his career, Jackson could make an earnest love song as pure as his original Jackson 5 recordings.
Neither about Princess Diana nor Diana Ross, Jackson's most sinister No. 1 single – also from "Bad" – is also one of his best rock songs. The spiritual successor to "Billie Jean" as another groupie cautionary tale, “Dirty Diana” is a reminder that Jackson, whose legacy isn’t exactly one as a sex symbol, could channel carnal danger just like the res...
A career-defining Jackson hit for its statement of self, from an artist with a notoriously conflicted relationship with his own image, “Man in the Mirror” is tragic in the way it foreshadows Jackson’s struggles to come – and triumphant as a pop achievement in its own right.
From "Weird Al" Yankovic's immortal "Eat It" to Fall Out Boy's considerably less-immortal2008 cover, there's a cartoonish aspect to "Beat It" that makes it prime for parody – or fools lesser artists into thinking they can appropriately do the track justice. Yet "Beat It" is a top-tier Jackson single because of how absurd, purposefully or otherwise,...
