On this day in pop: Michael Jackson released his last studio album - Invincible - 20 Years!

[DanjaMouse]

On this day, October 30th 2001,  Michael Jackson released his final studio album - ‘Invincible’. I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it being 20 whole years since we heard original material from the King of Pop (if you discount those god-awful posthumous money grabs).

Invincible was Michael’s most critique work, however it spawned 3 singles including ‘You Rock my World’ with its blockbuster music video starring Marlon Brando and Chris Tucker, and has sold 8 million copies worldwide.

Crazy it's been 20 years. I remember thinking You Rock My World was so lackluster.

Also crazy that Britney was the next major album release. I bet that made Britney feel so special. He saw her talent.

He was the only artist that did over 77 Minutes of Music. If he was alive imagine what he would test during the streaming era. 

 

He wouldn't do those 2 minute songs. 

 

He would even argue as a dancer where's the instrumental break to boogie on the floor, wheres the intro. 

 

Two minutes is okay for radio edits but not album cuts.
