Michael Jackson: A Look Back at His 10 Solo Albums

Michael Jackson's solo career, spanning over four decades, produced 10 studio albums that left an indelible mark on pop culture. His journey began with 'Got to Be There' in 1972, a Motown release capitalizing on his Jackson 5 fame, featuring tracks like "Rockin' Robin." Subsequent albums like 'Ben' and 'Music & Me' showcased his evolving artistry.

'Off the Wall,' released in 1979 with producer Quincy Jones, marked his transition into adulthood with iconic hits like "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." This was followed by the monumental 'Thriller' in 1982, which became the best-selling album of all time, boasting enduring tracks such as "Beat It" and "Billie Jean."

Subsequent releases like 'Bad,' 'Dangerous,' 'HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I,' and 'Invincible' each topped the Billboard 200 and achieved multiplatinum success. While 'Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix' offered remixes and new material, his final studio album, 'Invincible,' released in 2001, is considered less artistically impactful compared to his earlier groundbreaking work.
