Michael Jackson’s New Album Sets a Record
- What is the biggest poster in the world and what distance does it cover?
- Answer: The cover design of Michael Jackson’s new album. Three-quarters of the Wembley Stadium football field in London is under it. It’s longer than six road buses lined up one after another. And standing upright, it’s taller than the Nelson Column (in London, 46 meters high).

December 8, 2010, about 3 kilometers from London Heathrow Airport: a poster of the cover design for Michael Jackson’s new album “Michael,” with an area of 29,070 square feet / 2,700 square meters and dimensions of 171 by 171 feet (52 * 51 meters), was nailed onto “Michael’s Ground,” and the Guinness World Records organization officially announced that it is the biggest poster in the world.
The difference in area between this poster and the previous record holder—the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics poster—is more than 110 square feet.
The poster can be seen from inside airplanes that enter and leave Heathrow Airport.
The poster is made of PVC, is one piece, and weighs one ton. Installing the poster took three hours of engineering work.
A Guinness Records specialist said: “Michael Jackson still has many Guinness records, and we’re excited to set another record in the name of the King of Pop.”
The Michael album will be released in the United Kingdom on December 13, and the poster will remain on Michael’s Ground until December 23 as promotion for the album. After that, it will be separated and shipped to the European tour to show itself.
