Jackson made his debut at the age of six with The Jackson 5 (later known as The Jacksons), who were prominent performers during the 1970s. Jackson's early solo career that same decade included albums such as Got to Be There and Ben. His two follow-ups, Music & Me and Forever, Michael, failed to sell well. In 1979, Jackson released Off the Wall, which became his first best-selling album. Three years later, Jackson issued his best-selling album to date, Thriller, which topped several international charts and became the best-selling album of all time. Jackson's follow-ups, Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book 1, also became international successes. Jackson's tenth and final studio album, Invincible, was released in 2001 and topped international charts though its sales paled in comparison to his previous albums, with total confirmed sales of 13 million copies worldwide.

Following Jackson's death in 2009, sales of his previous work skyrocketed, with his compilation album, Number Ones, becoming one of the best-selling albums internationally.
