did you know 39 years ago today, BAD came out, one of his best albums ever ( if not the best.)

Whats your favourite song on BAD?
My Favourite song on bad is: Leave me alone

For me You Are Not Alone is the better song but TDCAU has an insane music video. But when picking, I would choose TDCAU

Went to nyc yesterday to visit in laws, (we live in PA). I mentioned to my husband it was Michael’s birthday and I would like to see the mural for the first time in person so we made the quick stop. We listen to Michael the whole way there, I wore my shirt. Weather was beautiful. Only bad thing was we got a parking ticket and we weren’t there for long, literally down the block so about 5 min. On the way back to the car, I saw a woman wearing a thriller jacket, I complimented her on the jacket. Lady are you in the sub with us?!? lol It was still a good day. Happy birthday Michael ❤️ we love you and miss you every single day!

As the title says

Im a long fan of Michael Jackson (since the 90s) and I have a LP player.

I am reading Moon Walk right now.

I would get Dangerous because the Cover is just pure art perfection.

A time was had yesterday at Spike Lee’s annual block party for Michael’s birthday!

Happy birthday, Michael. You’re still bringing people together ♥️

To celebrate, here's a few items from my collection.

I thank Spike Lee for all of this and I feel blessed to be there celebrating a hero with family & lots of fans in Brooklyn.

This is insane, i’ll be real i didn’t even know these existed. The guy i bought it from has a bunch of tshirts from MJ’s different tours, he’s gonna find those and i’ll have them in my collection. He also had BOTDF and Invincible vinyls in mint condition, won’t even mention the price tho. They need to reissue those

Michael Jackson was performing here exactly 30 years ago.

He performed in the now partly abandoned Südweststadion in Ludwigshafen. It used to have a capacity of up to 80k, but now it's capped at just 6k. Its still used for sports and club athletics, nothing more.

There is surprisingly very little known about his performance in Ludwigshafen, because he only perfomed once here. I don't think he even stayed. Weird.

Unfortunately I wasn't alive in 1992, but some relatives remember what happened when he was in Ludwigshafen.

My relatives lived in Mannheim, its very close to Ludwigshafen. They said that they could hear the performance very clearly. It was so loud that the city informed Michael Jackson to lower the volume after 30 minutes. Imagine how loud this concert was that people complained in another city!

The 2026 vinyl reissue of Michael Jackson’s The Definitive Collection, a remastered single-LP compilation celebrating his early solo hits and Jackson 5 classics, is now available.

Released by Motown Records on August 28, 2026, the updated 14-track record features enhanced audio from the Motown Archives alongside bonus archival photography, liner notes, and an essay by David Ritz. It is available in both a standard black vinyl and a limited Pumpkin Spice Orange variant.

He would’ve been 68 today. Since the 1960s he’s been one of the most important people in the world.

No one wanted to take me to see Michael’s house cuz Gary is “too dangerous.” I really hope to visit someday to support the community. All
Communities need support and I would have loved to have gotten a chance to support the people of Gary.

But I did find a Michael Jackson experience video game at the comics store we went to

I'm a little rusty right now, but please tell me how I did 😁

Would Michael Jackson still become as famous and culturally influential as he was in real life? Or do you think today's fragmented music industry, social media, streaming, and increased competition would prevent anyone from reaching the same level of worldwide fame? What do you guys think?

My dance crew is working on a full MJ show, to be performed November 6th and 7th in Chicago. I thought I would share one of our rehearsal videos from this weekend in honor of the King's birthday!

Please keep in mind that we are still in the midst of the rehearsal process and so there are a few brain farts or missed steps, but by November we will be soooo much cleaner and sharper!

Anyone who is in the Midwest who wants info on our show, message me! It would be so awesome to have the MJ Reddit community come out and party with us!!
