Number Ones is a greatest hits album by American singer and dancer Michael Jackson. It was released on November 17, 2003 by Epic Records.

The album included Jackson singles that reportedly reached number 1 in charts around the world. The album also features the last original single released during Jackson's lifetime, "One More Chance", released on November 20, 2003.

Dangerous is the eighth studio album by American singer Michael Jackson, released by Epic Records on November 26, 1991. It was co-produced by Jackson, Bill Bottrell, Teddy Riley, and Bruce Swedien, marking the first Jackson album since Forever, Michael (1975) not produced by longtime collaborator Quincy Jones.

Jackson wrote twelve of the album's fourteen songs, whose themes include racism, poverty, romance, self-improvement, and the welfare of children and the world.

Bad is the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987 in the United States by Epic Records and internationally by CBS Records,[2] nearly five years after Jackson's previous solo studio album, Thriller.

The lyrical themes include media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace.
Bad saw Jackson exercise more artistic freedom than his previous albums. He composed nine of its eleven tracks, and received co-producer credit for the entire album. Nine songs were released as singles, including one promotional single; seven charted in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, including a record-breaking five number ones.

Play is the fifth studio album by American electronica musician Moby. It was first released on May 17, 1999 by Mute and V2. Recording of the album began in 1998, following the release of his fourth album, Animal Rights (1996), which deviated from Moby's electronica style; his goal for Play was to return to this style of music. Originally intended to be his final record, the recording of the album took place at Moby's home studio in Manhattan, New York.

With Mike Oldfield clearly beginning his shift away from ambitious multi-instrumental epics into more pop-inflected territory, what better time could there have been for his label to remind listeners that he'd always had an eye for the three-minute single? True, nothing here is as overt as "Family Man," the hit that he and his band wrote for Hall & Oates, but still a cover of ABBA's "Arrival" swiftly followed by such stirring delights as "Portsmouth," "In Dulci Jubilo," "On Horseback," "The Sailor's Hornpipe," and a pulsating live take of the disco hit "Guilty" depict a musician who was a far cry from the super-serious prodigy that the media still preferred to view him as.

This is an awesome collection of 3 cds that includes all of Mike Brant's great hits and the quality of the recording is fine. For any fan of Mike Brant this a must. For those who don't know him; if you like beautiful male voices, that have depth and strength, if you like meaningful lyrics, and if you don't mind that most of it is sang in French, and that the music style from the 70's, then go for it, you won't be disappointed!

This Michel Legrand release contains his original soundtrack for the 1970 movie Paris Was Made for Lovers and updated versions of two of his best known celluloid themes, "Windmills of Your Mind" and "Summer of '42." These new takes on already well-tread material are pleasant at best, while the original soundtrack material is quite good. Particularly impressive are the vocal numbers "Paris Was Made for Lovers" (Legrand in decent vocal form), "A Place in Paris" (Matt Monro sounding like Tony Bennett), and "Sand and Sea" (Dusty Springfield at her best). There are some fine instrumentals, too, like the dramatic themes "Where Love Begins" and "Where Love Ends" and the Ravel-esque ballads "In Love in Normandy" and "They Simply Fade Away" (the latter two are based on the "Sand and Sea" melody). To break up the soundtrack's predominately melancholy mood, Legrand includes some respectable Dixieland jazz ("Concerto for Cabs") and bit of circus music ("Do You Come Here Often?"). Like '60s-era soundtracks by Mancini and Bacharach, Paris Was Made for Lovers succeeds with a winning mix of strong melodies, provocative arrangements, and a variety of styles; and even though it doesn't match the quality of top Legrand releases like The Thomas Crown Affair, it still is worth seeking out.

Invincible is the final studio album by American singer Michael Jackson. It was released on October 30, 2001, by Epic Records. It was Jackson's sixth studio album released through Epic, and his last released before his death in 2009. Similar to Jackson's previous material, Invincible explores themes such as love, romance, isolation, media criticism, and social issues.
An extensive and laborious album to make, Jackson started the multi genre production in 1997, and did not finish until eight weeks before the album's October 2001 release. The album peaked at number one in eleven territories worldwide, including the United States (with first-week sales of 363,000 units), the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Switzerland. Invincible charted within the top ten in six other territories. Upon release, the album received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics.

All four singles reached the Top 40 in the UK as well, as did a fifth single released only in the UK, "Steel Bars".

The One Thing is an album by Michael Bolton, released on November 16, 1993. Although this album contained the hit "Said I Loved You...But I Lied", which reached #6 in the U.S., it did not match the sales of his previous two albums and was an early sign of his faltering chart success after 1993. Nevertheless, the album was a respectable hit on its own going 3xPlatinum in the US only and selling approximately 6 million copies worldwide.
