Amazon.co.uk Review: Like the Beatles and Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson is one of the handful of artists that can release an album of their number one singles. Number Ones includes his solo chart toppers in the UK and abroad from the period beginning with his Off the Wall album right up to the new song "One More Chance", a collaboration with R Kelly. The remaining 17 songs on the album are all classics drawn from the disco-soul Off the Wall, the funky Thriller, the good Bad, the safe Dangerous, the semi-best-of History and the weak Invincible. Regardless of whether the bulk of Number Ones has appeared on other greatest hits albums, this is still an incredible selection of Michael Jackson's best music. --Georgina Collins

His private life is another subject alltogether but, that aside, the man is a pop genius who has a huge influence in a variety of musical styles.

Rating: - An essential Michael Jackson album
There's no shortage of Greatest Hits albums for Michael Jackson, so often it's hard to decide which one you should opt for. I would absolutely advise you to get this one, even if you do have another one of his lying around, as this is a brilliant summary of his most successful tracks to date, and is the most neatly and conveniently assembled of all I've seen.
For starters, this is just one disc with 18 tracks as opposed to a daunting two or more CD catalogue, and has a succinct yet wide ... Read More
Rating: - You rock my world!
I bought this after not really hearing much of Jacko's music, only the big ones that everybody knows. And I LOVED IT. It will make you want to dance even if you've never danced in your life. Perfect for someone who, like me, had never bought Jacko's music before. Great car music, or housework music!
