Product Description:

HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I

Titled "HIStory Begins," the first disc is a collection of his post-Motown hits, featuring some of the greatest music in pop history, including "Billie Jean," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," "Beat It," and "Rock with You." It leaves some hits out -- including the number ones "Say Say Say" and "Dirty Diana" -- yet it's filled with enough prime material to be thoroughly intoxicating.

The second disc, called "HIStory Continues," consists entirely of new material -- which also happens to be the first material he released since being accused of child molestation. "HIStory Continues" is easily the most personal album Jackson has recorded. References to the scandal permeate almost every song, creating a thick atmosphere of paranoia.

HIStory comes with a 52-page booklet with liner notes by Janet Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as many never-before-seen photographs.

There were a total of eight singles released off the album with two being promotional. The two promotional songs include "You Are Not Alone" and "Scream". They both made it to the Billboard 100 top five. Although a few other singles that were released were not widely popular in the United States, they did rank well internationally. In the end, it took home a Grammy Award for Best Music video for the "Scream" video.
