Michael Jackson 's compilation history is dominated by the landmark 1995 release , which remains the best-selling multi-disc album of all time with over 20 million copies sold worldwide . The "HIStory" Era (1995)

: A 15-track "Greatest Hits" compilation featuring remastered versions of his most iconic work from the Off the Wall , Thriller , Bad , and Dangerous eras. Essential tracks include "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Man in the Mirror," and "Thriller".

The album was an ambitious double-disc project that served both as a definitive retrospective and a new creative chapter:

: 15 brand-new songs that were deeply personal and often combative. It addressed the 1993 child sexual abuse allegations, media scrutiny, and social injustice through tracks like "Scream" (a duet with Janet Jackson), "Tabloid Junkie," and "They Don't Care About Us" .

: To promote the album, Epic Records placed ten 30-foot statues of Jackson in cities like London and Berlin. The subsequent HIStory World Tour became the highest-grossing solo tour of the 1990s, earning $165 million. Other Major "Greatest Hits" Compilations
