Michael Jackson’s Discography
Despite MJVibe being a MJ Fan Club, we are conscious that the general public and the new generation of fans might need to know more about the King of Pop’s discography.
So here’s a list of all Michael Jackson’s solo albums including the compilations and re-editions.
How to read the Discography?
With so many releases, we kept it as simple as possible. The below list is in Chronological order from 1972 to today with colour codes:
RED: Michael Jackson Solo Studio Album
GREY: Compilation
BLACK: Re-edition (may includes new material)
BLUE: Posthumous Album
ORANGE: Remix / Soundtracks Album
Each album comes with a visual to help you to identify it. All the below ONLY includes Michael Jackson‘s albums and does not include the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons‘ albums.
