Let’s get to it:
20. “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” (from Bad – 1987)
This romantic ballad is a duet with Siedah Garrett and served as Michael’s first single from the Bad album. During the Bad tour, MJ would sing the track with an unknown backup singer by the name of Sheryl Crow.
19. “Workin’ Day and Night” (from Off the Wall – 1979)
MJ’s first entry on the list from his breakthrough solo album Off the Wall served as the B-side to “Rock With You”. This fast paced dance groove might not have ever been an official single, but it became a live performance staple from the King of Pop.
18. “The Way You Make Me Feel” (from Bad – 1987)
Bad‘s third single was a deserved monster hit and also became a staple of Jackson’s live performances.
17. “Remember the Time” (from Dangerous – 1991)
This was the second single from the Dangerous album and like “In the Closet” features terrific production from Teddy Riley. The music video featured Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson, and model Iman.
16. “Another Part of Me” (from Bad – 1987)
This Bad heavy portion of my list concludes with “Another Part of Me”, which served as the album’s sixth single. It may not be quite as well known as “The Way You Make Me Feel” or the title track itself, but it’s always been one of my favorites from the album.
***Since the Bad album has received so much love in this portion, now might be a good time to announce that title track “Bad” did not make my personal Top 25 cut. It was close, but there were just too many other great choices that leapfrogged it.
And that’s all for now! I’ll be back tomorrow with numbers 15-11!
