'Rock With You' (1980)ДЄ favorite from Jackson's fifth solo album, вЂњOff the Wall,вЂќ the breezy вЂњRock With YouвЂќ only scratches the surface of Jackson and Quincy JonesвЂ™ collaborations to come. вЂњSay Say SayвЂќ picks up the pace while splitting its verses in two, handing McCartney the earnest opening notes while letting Jackson wail away on his appropriately funky melodies. вЂњSay Say SayвЂќ deserves an apology вЂ“ or at the very least, a second listen вЂ“ from every listener who writes off JacksonвЂ™s collaborations with McCartney as less than the sum of the two artistsвЂ™ parts. Its title track is a testament to how formidableВ Jackson's singles catalog is: a perfectly strong track in its own rightВ but one that barely cracks the top 10 of his own No. With 'Bad,' Jackson became the first and only male artist to chart five No. Considering Jackson recently charted in the top 10 with his unreleased vocals in DrakeвЂ™s 'Don't Matter to Me,' thereвЂ™s still a possibility that another posthumous Jackson feature will replace it as his last charts-topping hit. 1 hit wouldn't have been вЂњYou Are Not Alone,вЂќ an overly sentimentalВ ballad thatвЂ™s more the style of its songwriter,В R. In a more just world, Jackson's final No. Like 'We Are the World,' 'Ben' is a Michael Jackson No.

'Ben' is an earnest ode to a pet rat, recorded for the 1972 horror movie of the same name and written by composer Walter Scharf of 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'-scoring fame. 1 trackВ with the Jackson 5'sВ charts-topping hit 'I Want You Back,' Jackson scored his first solo No. 1 spot, the song's inclusion on this list feels like a fluke.ДЄfter becoming the youngest artist to collaborate on a No. There's nothing egregiouslyВ wrong with 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You' вЂ“ it's just that, when it comes to the many superior Jackson hits that missed the No. The first single from Jackson's 'Bad' albumВ is also its weakest one. Co-written by Jackson and Lionel Richie, 'We Are the World' may have raisedВ more than $75 million for the USA for Africa organization, but it's less a real song than a star-studded and hopelessly overblown PSAВ and doesn't deserve to be counted as an official Michael Jackson No. Where to start with 'We Are the World,' the biggest charity single of all time, which recruited 46 singers to contribute a few words each to raise funds to combat poverty in Africa. 1, and judge for yourself which were the best вЂ“ and worst вЂ“ of his most-popular songs. 29, revisit JacksonвЂ™s 14 songs that reached No. In honor of what wouldвЂ™ve been JacksonвЂ™s 60th birthday on Aug. 1, while a good number of arguably lesser singles managed to reach the Billboard Hot 100вЂ™s peak. (Pretty Young Thing),вЂќ вЂњGot to Be There,вЂќ вЂњSmooth CriminalвЂќ and his вЂњScreamвЂќ collaboration with sister Janet Jackson all failed to reach No. Bona fide classics such as вЂњThriller,вЂќ 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin,вЂ™ вЂќ 'P.Y.T. YetВ for all his record-holding achievements, listeners may be surprised which of JacksonвЂ™s singles hit No. 1s вЂ“В more than any other artist that decade. 1 hits in the 1970s, вЂ™80s andВ вЂ™90s and that during the вЂ™80s alone, at his creative peak, he earned 10 No. His catalogВ has both legendary breadth and depth, considering Jackson was the first artist to score No. 1s вЂ“ and one more to which he contributed vocals вЂ“ Jackson leads the list of male artists with the most chart-topping hits. 1 hits than most artists could ever dream of charting вЂ“ combined. Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has more No.
