After the phenomenal success of Thriller in 1982, Michael Jackson’s career continued to soar in the mid-to-late 1980s. In 1984, he embarked on the Victory Tour with his brothers, which was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time. Jackson also released his highly anticipated album Bad in 1987, which became the first album in history to produce five Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. The Bad World Tour that followed was a massive global spectacle, setting a Guinness World Record for the largest attendance. This era solidified Jackson’s status as the “King of Pop” and a global superstar.
