Black or White by Michael Jackson Song Info

"Black or White" is the lead single from Michael Jackson's Dangerous album. It was released in November, 11 1991. "Black or White" is a mix of rock, and dance-pop.Written, composed, and arranged by Jackson with the rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell. The song peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 7 consecutive weeks. #1 on the UK Singles Chart and in many other countries. On Nov. 14, 1991, Michael Jackson debuted his epic 11-minute music video for โ€œBlack or White.โ€ Which premiered simultaneously in 28 countries to a Record audience of 500 MILLION people. To prepare the audience for the special occasion of the televised premiere of the "Black or White" video, Epic records released the song (without the accompanying images) to radio stations just two days in advance. In a period of twenty-four hours, "Black or White", described by the record company as "a rock 'n' roll dance song about racial harmony", had been added to the playlists of 96 percent of 237 of the United States of America's top forty radio stations the first day of release. "Black or White" was the first single off of Dangerous, produced by Michael Jackson and Bill Bottrell, it began to be promoted on radio stations the first week of November 1991 in New York and Los Angeles. "Black or White" was officially released one week later. It was written and composed by Jackson with rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell, the song's introduction and main riff were played by Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash and Bill Bottrell. "Black or White" is also described as a mix of hard rock, dance and rap, but basically it is a hard rock song like "Beat It". These songs are also compared by Rolling Stone's Allan Light in his Dangerous review, he says, "Neither this slow-burn solo nor the Stones-derived riff on 'Black or White' offers the catharsis of Eddie Van Halen's blazing break on 'Beat It'". "Black or White" stormed into Billboard's Hot 100 at number thirty five. A week later it shot up to number three and on its third week, December 7 1991, it ascended to number one, making it the fastest chart topper since the Beatles' "Get Back" also won the Hot 100 in just three weeks in 1969. It achieved the year at number one, and remained at the top of the singles chart into 1992, for a total of seven weeks, making Michael Jackson the first artist to get number one popular hits in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The single also made an extraordinary and amazing debut in the UK, where it became the first single by an American to go into the singles chart at number one since 1960, when "It's Now Or Never" by Elvis Presley did in the same manner. Around the world, "Black or White" hit number one in the US, UK, Mexico, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Israel, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweeden, Switzerland and the Euro Chart Hot 100, number two in Germany and number three in Holland. The single was certified platinum in the US, selling over one million copies.

- Addictive

The music and vocals are highly addictive. The beats get inside your head and just own you. Just can't stop listening.

- Hmm really?

I didn't think this would sell as wellas his other alb ums before, though it is very close inmy opinion. I noticed that the popularity bars on the side diidn't agree with me, as the length of the bars skipped around from 2 bars, to full. It's also nice to me that it's not anything I haven't heard before, because of the Experience video game.BTWThis is only partially related to the music... Who Is It IMMEDIATELY became that stuck in my head humming during class song for me after The Experience! :P RIP Michael, may you finally have your peace.

- Awesome

My favorite one was she drives wild

- I LOVE MJ!!

This album thoeeeee!!! Man my song is Dangerous! GOSH YES!!! This is NOT a fail this is a SUCCESS!!! You will NOT be disappointed! โค๐Ÿ‘ŒโœŒ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜โœ‹๐Ÿ˜Šโ˜€ Michael gave this his all, and I can tell.๐Ÿ’š

- PURE TALENT!!!

There are very few albums that I can listen to every song completely on the album without skipping to my favorites. This happens to be one of them. Dangerous demonstrates the pure raw talent Michael had for music. He will be missed.

- BEST.ALBUM.EVER!

This is the best album recorded by the best artist of all time!! I love u so much Michael! U r the best!!! I have OMJD (Obsessive Michael Jackson Disorder) And I'm proud of it!! My favorites on this album are definetely Will You Be There,Dangerous,And Who is it!!! LOVE IT!!!๎€พ๎Œฆ๎€Ž๎€‘๎Ÿ๎€ƒ๎œ๎„ฆ๎„ฆ

- One of my favorites

I love this album because I can break out some serious dance moves on this and its just plain funky. Hard Bass lines sound so so good in my bose headphones. Plus this shows another real funky side of Micheal Jackson. I list this as one of my Top 3 albums..

- Awesome, just Awesome.

I have been a long-time fan of Michael Jackson, and I have to say, this album is worthy to be in anyones musical collection. Catchy beats, meaningful lyrics, it is just great.

- I CABDT BRRGEG

MICHAEL JACSHOB

- Michael the best the king of pop

The best music that I heard in all my life <3

- The Essence of Michael

I grew up listening to this album. He will not only be remembered for his talent, but for his heart. He mentioned that his most prized song that he ever written was Heal the World. He really put himself into this album.

- BEST MJ ALBUM

This album explores darker and more pressing themes than his previous albums. I love MJ and I play basketball so Jam is my second favorite on the album. Though long, Dangerous is easily my favorite song on the album. There was no video, but it would be neat since Dangerous is about a dangerous girl that it was a sequel to thriller where Michaelโ€™s girlfriend undergoes a transformation herself. My favorite album so far:)

- Danger

Great album I love most of the songs and the new jack swing but there were too many fillers and that slightly weakened it

- The gifted talker

Great album must buy you will not be waisting you're money unless you're cheap

- The Best, Michael Jackson

This album is sooo good! I live "Give In to Me". Its so wonderful! King of Pop forever!!!!

- One of the best selling albums of all time

Michael Jackson takes up the role of the producer and does whatever he wants. Media likes to call this album a flop but the truth it is a global mega successful album. Sold more than 30 million.

- MJ iMiss YOU R.I.P 1958-2009

DANGEROUS is without a doubt a MASTERPIECE

- Great

One of the best!

- Amazing

Listen and watch the In the Closet video................ and we all thought he was nieve. But one thing's for sure, we all know that he's the best. Sing/Dance/Entertain/Live/Rest in Peace

- Real masterpiece

Time has shown the value of this gorgeous album. It made me an MJ fan the first time I heard it and today I am still enjoying it a lot.

- Excellent

This album represent the artistic renew of the king of pop, that goes to an high quality genre. Sounds futuristic, a masterpiece!

- One of the best MJ albums!

In my opinion this is the 2nd best MJ album next to BAD!! I love almost every song on this one.

- Dangerous

I love this album. It's one of my favorites!

- OH MY GOD!!!!!

I love this album this is one of my favorites by him we love and miss you R.I.P

- THE BEST EVER

Can you believe that MJ and the team brought out this sound/tone to the music in 1991. Songs like JAM, Keep the faith, Will u be there, Who is it, Dangerous etc still feels like its been made yesterday!! Thats what I call GENIUS!!!

- Amazing

Personally i think this is his best album

- Michael Jackson an amazing artist

This album is like perfection.

- Best album ever

It is so cool

- Best album ever

I have heard all of Michaelโ€™s albums and seen almost all of his short films and movies and I have to say the Dangerous album, or the era in general, is my favorite. Most of the tracks are very upbeat, especially Who Is It, In the Closet, and Jam. Also, his performances of the songs on the album are phenomenal! There will NEVER be a performer who can take his place as the King of Pop. Love you, Applehead. Rest in peace. <3

- MJ is Dangerous!!!

Dangerous has to be my second favorite album! This album is was set to be the next level of the Bad album, from Bad to Dangerous addiction love to MJ music. In this album you will find dance beat songs to low key dance beat. There is a little bit of everything for everybody to like in this album.. Some of my favorite music in this album are: In the Closet* Remember the Time* Jam* Black or White* Will You Be There* Who is it* Heal the World* You Are Not Alone* > I would also recommend yall MJ fans out there *Blood on the dance floor and *Money.

- Masterpiece

This is my favorite Album of all time. This is musical art at its best wonderful.

- El rey

es describir lo que Michael Jackson me ha hecho sentir descubrir o gozar es realmente inexpicable, he sido su fan desde que yo vivia en Mexico, recuerso que en el 1995 estubo dando conciertos en el estadio azteca yo me moria por ir a uno de sus conciertos pero en ese entonces para donde yo vivia sonar eso era solo eso una ilucion no tenia quien fuera conmigo ni los recursos para ir pero la sensacion de sonar era inimaginable, aun ahora siento se y reconosco el talento que el tiene aun despues de su muerte (que aun no logro superar) tengo la ilucion de verlo en concierto (no estoy loco) pero es una ilucion que me gusta tener! EL ES Y SERA SIMPLEMENTE LO MEJOR DE LA MUSICA Y DEL ENTRETENIMIENTO LE DUELA A QUIEN LE DUELA....

- Loved it ๐Ÿ˜ป

๐Ÿ’žThis album was personally amazing from personal experience I listened to the album and it blew me away ๐Ÿ’ž

- dangerously good

this album is dangerously good . I love it

- Pure 90's Gold

I was not so sure about this album, at first. I felt it was going to be one of those ones where it would never tie in with the successes of Thriller and Bad. I was wrong. This SO ties in with those albums. This is, by far, the most creative and electrifying album in Michael Jackson's career. One of the best pop albums of the 90's. He is, and always will be, the King of Pop. Give In To Me is probably my favorite off this album. Then again, all of it is solid.

- AWESOME ALBUM EVER

This album is soo good- buy it if your not sure, its worth every penny. Also P.S) ive heard tere was an acapella version to this album, is that true? If so- I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET IT

- love love love it

my favorite song is in the closet my second is who is it and my third is remember the time

- never gets old

even though this album was released way before i was born, none of the songs ever get old, and there's a song for every occasion and mood

- Great

Love the songs in this album

- Better than thriller

I understand many people rank Thriller as the best Michael Jackson album or even Bad. Both albums are great and had great singles. But Dangerous sounds more creative both musically and lyrically.

- Mj king

Michael Jackson king of pop

- my all time fav MJ CD!!!

Magnificent!!

- I love this!!

This is one of my favorite albums by him.

- Michael's best album

My favorite Michael Jackson album

- MJ

Michael Jackson is truly "the King of Pop". LONG LIVE THE KING!!!1!

- I'd give this album 1 million stars if i could

This is my favorite Michael Jackson album......then its Bad, Thriller, HIStory, Off the Wall, Invicible. Hes amazing and he'll always be the King of Pop

- Dangerous

I don't understand why this was considered a failure, the album is great, i recommend you buy the full album. Although my 3 personal favorites are "Jam", "Heal the World" and "Will You Be There"

- King...

Don't mess up with him.. He's dangerous...

- Great !!!!

Im a big mj and this was a great album stepping into the 90's from his 80's fame he has proved longevity as a solo artist all songs are pure genius.
