Bad (album) Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to paranoia, romance and self-improvement. Bad is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. The album was released August 31, 1987.[13] By September 26, it had debuted at number one on the Billboard 200,[14] remaining there for the next six consecutive weeks.[15] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Bad eight time platinum for having shipped nine million copies in the United States alone.[16] Though Jackson furthered his stance as a global pop superstar, in the United States Bad failed to match the sales of Thriller, causing some in the media to label the album a "disappointment" in comparison.[8][17] Jackson wore a gold-plated military styled jacket with a belt during the Bad era to give himself an edgier look.[8]
