Michael Jackson’s new album recalls “DANGEROUS” in Britain

Michael, Michael Jackson’s new album, which was released a week ago in the UK, sold quickly. Compared to all Michael Jackson albums since Dangerous was released 20 years ago, it has sold faster. Since December 13, the Michael album has sold more than 113,000 copies in the UK and entered at number 4. This is Michael’s 19th placement in the top 10 of the UK sales chart. Hold My Hand, the album’s single, is also Michael’s 55th song to enter the Hot 10. Four decades ago, in 1970, Michael—along with the Jackson Five—first reached this position with the song I Want You Back. English critics have rated the album “brilliant.” They believe the collaboration on the unfinished songs of the King of Pop is astonishing, and the new album is undoubtedly a worthy and valuable addition to the King of Pop’s legacy. In describing the work, it says: “A showcase of talent and confidence, with a mountain of melodies and uplifting, transcendent hymns, and vocals sung with sweetness.” But what drew attention this week in music stores was the high number of young buyers. The manager of the HMV store says: “This shows that Michael’s ability to inspire the younger generation hasn’t diminished. We’re seeing the emergence of a new generation of fans. They believe in the power of his music and they’re ensuring that his unique legacy will endure.” In the UK, Michael Jackson has had 9 number-one albums and 9 number-one singles.
