I haven't forgotten. Neither has Rolling Stone, or Vh1. And really,
someone had to do it. It was more symbolic than anything. MJ had already had the top spot for weeks, so it was bound to end soon.
Still, yeah, a very big achievement for a "new" artist's first major label album. Unprecedented really. But Nevermind has sold more copies to date than Dangerous by far (7 million to, I believe, 12 million) ...
Hard to believe that was only MJ's fourth studio album, and kinda the last one from his real golden era.
That album has freaking NINE singles. Did y'all know that? NINE singles.
