【Work Introduction】
"Michael Jackson" The King of Pop = Michael Jackson. As a symbol of pop music, Michael Jackson will continue to shine forever in the history of world music. Michael Jackson had over 25 number one hits worldwide, and including his time with the Jackson 5 and his solo career at Motown, he produced over 30 number one hits. His first solo album on EPIC, "Off the Wall," released in 1979, was the first by a solo artist to produce four top 10 hits from a single album. With hits like "Don't Stop Talking Tonight" and "Rock with You," it marked the beginning of Michael Jackson's long reign on the charts. The arrival of "Thriller" solidified Michael Jackson's position as the King of Pop. "Thriller" sold over 100 million copies worldwide and is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling album of all time. It also holds the record for the most Grammy Awards, winning eight. Seven of the nine tracks on the album were released as singles, all of which reached the US Top 10, and the album spent 37 weeks at number one on the Billboard album chart. Singles from "Thriller," such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Thriller," are overflowing with supreme thrills. After that, Michael Jackson's pace never slowed down. In 1987, he released "Bad." Starting with the first single, "Can't Stop Loving You," he set a new record by having five consecutive number one singles from the same album in the US, solidifying his position as the King of Pop.
