MICHAEL JACKSON

                               

This article includes the peak chart positions of the Michael Jackson albums discography. Listed are all the albums in order of their release (list of minor compilations is partial), not including re-issues, unless they charted. Included are peak chart positions for the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. In some countries there are back catalogue

NOTES:
¹ - In Netherlands, there are the catalogue rules in the albums chart from 2003. From this date, a back catalogue chart was established. In Sweden and Norway the albums chart is divided into Top Fullprice Albums and Top Midprice Albums. Furthermore, prior September 1993, the charts in Sweden were bi-weekly, as well as the charts in Austria during the '80s (monthly in the '70s).

² - In France, from 1989 greatest hits/compilations of the artists are charted in a compilation chart. From 2002 to 2005, albums with price under 10€ were charted in a mid price chart. In 2005, the rules changed again, with the mid price list that became a back catalogue chart (generally albums that are at least 2 years old, sometimes also less). In this page, Top Albums (from 2002 full price/new albums list) and Top Compilations were used.

³ - In Japan, the chart was separated into LPs and Cassettes (with a CD chart added in 1985) until 1987, when the charts were unified. For pre-1987 peak positions, the LP chart is used, as that was the main medium.
