20 years is pushing it Yi! HIStory came out in 1995.

I didn't know that about his hair, regardless, he deliberately picked a white persons hair style.

But don't forget, kids: 'it doesn't matter if you're black or white!'

Was HIStory that big a succes!? I thought it was just a few new things and mostly old stuff? I could be wrong though.

I didnt think it was that big a success - not a flop per se, but a sales/critical disappointment considering the campaign it had, IIRC.

Yes it was a big success, maybe not by Jacko's previous efforts but still a big success. You're wrong btw. It was a double album with Disc 1 being a Great Hits and Disc 2 being a new album. In terms of what was new and what was old, it had 15 old and 15 new songs.

Off the Wall - 20 Million
Thriller - 109 Million
Bad - 30 Million
Dangerous - 32 Million
HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I - 20 million (40 million units) - Some countries counted it as two releases
Invincible - 10 Million

HIStory has "Scream", "You are not Alone", "Earth Song" and to a lesser extent "They don't care about us" remember.

Invincible was a flop, it was rubbish too.

Invincible was a sales flop, yes.

10 Million is a flop

if you lot say so.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 10 Jul 2009, 09:15

Compared to his other albums it was. 10m was worldwide remember.

Yes. Jacko blamed Sony. I blame Jacko, it was rubbish. The only rubbish album Jacko has ever released (from Off the Wall onwards).

There's way, way too much electronic shite in it.

This is Jacko remember. Besides I didn't mean in album sales. It was also critically slammed.
