His third and last album produced by Music/QuincyJones, ''Bad'' was the long-anticipated ToughActToFollow after Jackson's previous effort ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' had become the best-selling music album in history. Accordingly, the production went all-out. Jackson had fallen into a rabbit hole of technophilia at the time, and as such, the album featured some of the most cutting-edge technology that he could get his hands on, most prominently including digital synths and samplers like the Fairlight CMI and Synclavier PSMT and using digital recording equipment at a time when it had just become accessible to the majority of artists (note that the album started production the same year that Music/DireStraits put out ''Music/{{Brothers in Arms|Album}}'', which solidified the rise of digital recording and the UsefulNotes/CompactDisc). This, Jackson's perfectionism, and various other commitments resulted in the album taking two and a half years to record (compared to ''Thriller'', which was put together in just over half a year).

The What Could Have Been part fits better in the item's entries, on top of being too out-of-topic with the rest of the initial description.


His third and last collaboration with Music/QuincyJones, it was the long anticipated ToughActToFollow after his previous effort ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' had become the best-selling music album in history.

In a case of WhatCouldHaveBeen, "Bad" was intended as a duet between Jackson and Music/{{Prince}}, but Prince didn't like the opening line "your butt is mine" and thus the idea was thrown in the dumpster. The track "Streetwalker" was intended for the album, but eventually kept off the album in favour of "Another Part Of Me", which according to Frank Dileo, Jackson's manager, felt more danceable. It has now become a gem among Jackson fans who feel it is one of his best unreleased songs.

''Bad'' never reached the same success of ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' in terms of album sales; considering how well the last album did, it was probably a fool's errand to even hope for it. But it was still a colossal bestseller, going ten-times Platinum in the United States (upgraded to Diamond in 1999 when the RIAA opened Diamond certification) and 13-times Platinum in the United Kingdom.

It was supported by nine singles: "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", the TitleTrack, "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Music/TheWayYouMakeMeFeel", "Man in the Mirror", "Dirty Diana", "Another Part of Me", "Smooth Criminal", "Leave Me Alone", and "Liberian Girl". The first five were all #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Top 5 on the UK pop chart. The album was followed by the direct-to-video film, ''Film/{{Moonwalker}}'', where the video for "Smooth Criminal" brought a new iconic dance move to Michael's repertoire: the "anti-gravity lean".
