Bad is the seventh studio album by American singer Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, in the United States by Epic Recordsand internationally by CBS Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous album, Thriller. Bad was written and recorded over more than three and a half years, and was the final collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones. Jackson co-produced the album and composed all but two tracks. Incorporating pop, dance, funk, soul, rock and hard rock, Jackson experimented with innovative new sounds revolving around extensive use of new digital synthesizer technology, including FM synthesis and the Fairlight CMI and Synclavier PSMT synthesizers. The lyrical themes of Bad include media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace.

Described as "the most anticipated album in history", Bad debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and also reached number one in 24 other countries. It sold over two million copies in its first week in the US, and 500,000 in its first five days in the UK. Nine songs were released as singles, including one promotional single. Seven charted in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, including a record-breaking five number ones: "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana". The album was promoted with the film, Moonwalker(1988), which included the music videos of songs from Bad, including "Speed Demon", "Leave Me Alone", "Man in the Mirror" and "Smooth Criminal". The film became the best-selling home video of all time. Bad remained in the top five on the Billboard 200 for 38 weeks, setting a record for the longest run in the top five by an album from a male solo artist. By 1989, Bad had become the world's second-best-selling album, behind Thriller, having sold 22 million copies worldwide.

The Bad tour, which was Jackson's first solo world tour, grossed $125 million (equivalent to $254 million in 2019). Jackson performed seven sold out shows at Wembley Stadium, beating the previous record held by Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Genesis. The third concert on July 16, 1988 was attended by Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles. Jackson was entered into the Guinness World Records three times from the tour alone. Jackson performed 132 concerts in 15 countries to an audience of 4.4 million.

Bad is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with 45 million copies sold worldwide. It is certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album was nominated for six Grammy Awards, winning Best Engineered Recording – Non Classical and Best Music Video(for "Leave Me Alone"). For being the first artist in history to have five number ones singles from one album on the Billboard Hot 100, Jackson received the first Billboard Spotlight Award. Bad has been named by publications as one of the greatest albums of all time.
