THE KING OF POP DEBUTS AT #1 WITH
MICHAEL JACKSON’S BAD25 CD
TOPS CHARTS AROUND THE WORLD
New York, NY—Just one week after the release of Michael Jackson’s BAD25,
the deluxe anniversary CD packages and DVD celebrating the pop icon’s album and
record breaking world tour are topping global charts, with the DVD of his
previously un-released Wembley concert soaring to #1 .
The highly anticipated DVD, ‘Michael Jackson Live at Wembley,’ the
first ever released live concert from the legendary BAD tour, debuted at #1 in
the United States as well as in most major markets globally. Early chart
numbers show the BAD25
CD at the top of international charts in countries including Japan (#2), Spain
(#2), Germany (#4), France (#5), Hong Kong (#5), Korea (#5), the United Kingdom
(#6), Holland (#6), Austria (#10), Belgium (#10) with many more to
come.
The ‘Michael
Jackson Live At Wembley’ DVD, which is available both as a stand-alone product as well as in
the deluxe BAD25 anniversary box, provides a rare glimpse of one complete and
thrilling show from Michael’s legendary Bad Tour – the July 16, 1988 concert
just as he performed it for Prince Charles,
Princess Diana, and the other 72,000 screaming fans in attendance. The DVD was
sourced from Michael’s own VHS copy of the performance, providing watchers with
the same on-stage view they would haveexperienced watching the Jumbotrons had
they been at Wembley that memorableevening. This footage was only recently
unearthed from Michael’s personal archives, and is the only copy of the show
known to exist. The visuals have been restored and the audio is derived from the
multitrack recordings from that night to provide 5.1 surround sound so thatfans
can share in experiencing the excitement of Michael’s historic first solo
tour.
Entertainment Weekly’s ‘A’ rated review of BAD25 calls it “a potent
reminder of just how much Bad’s pulsing pop holds up”. BAD25 is a
2-disc CD. The first CD consists of the re-mastered original 1987 album which
features some of Michael Jackson’s biggest hits, including “Smooth Criminal”,
“Man In The Mirror” and the title track, “Bad” as well as “Leave Me Alone”, a
bonus track on the original 1987 CD version of the album. The second CD,
containing 13 tracks, offers fans a rare listen to six previously unreleased
demo recordings created in Michael’s personal Hayvenhurst studio and bonus
tracks including a never-before released French version of the classic “I Just
Can’t Stop Loving You” and a brand new remix of “Bad,” the fruit of an
electrifying collaboration between Pitbull and DJ Afrojack. The BAD25 deluxe
anniversary edition includes the Wembley concert DVD as well as a third CD, the
first ever solo Michael Jackson live album! It is from the same legendary July
16, 1988 concert at Wembley Stadium.
Award winning director Spike Lee has also created a
critically hailed documentary of the BAD album and tour. Airing in the U.S. on
ABC this Thanksgiving, his BAD25 documentary marks the first ever in-depth,
behind the scenes film project to chronicle a Michael Jackson album. Recently
screened at the Venice Film Festival, the Hollywood Reporter calls it “a
sensational snapshot of the peak of the music video as art form, as well as the
intricately layered process by which superior pop is crafted. More poignantly,
it serves to remove the veil of late-period craziness and allegations and
restore the reputation of Jackson as a multihyphenate musician of peerless
discipline, professionalism and perfectionism.”
