On this day, October 24, 1987, Michael Jackson’s hit single Bad became the #1 song in America, holding the top spot from October 24 to November 6. The song also hit #1 in Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Norway. Known for its iconic music video and Jackson’s powerful performance, Bad became a defining moment in his career.

Fun Fact: Bad was originally intended to be a duet with Prince, but he declined the offer because the opening line is “Your butt is mine.”

Who remembers when Bad was all over the charts? Did you own this single?
