HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I is the ninth studio album by American singer Michael Jackson, released on June 20, 1995. It was the fifth Jackson album released through Epic Records, and the first on his label MJJ Productions. It comprises two discs: HIStory Begins, a greatest hits compilation, and HIStory Continues, comprising new material written and produced by Jackson and collaborators. The album features appearances from Shaquille O'Neal, Slash and The Notorious B.I.G. The genres of HIStory Continues span R&B, pop, hip hop, elements of hard rock and funk rock. The themes include environmental awareness, isolation, greed, suicide, injustice, and Jackson's conflicts with the media. Starting in the late 1980s, Jackson and the tabloid press had a difficult relationship. In 1993, the relationship between Jackson and the press collapsed when he was accused of child sexual abuse. Although he was not charged, Jackson was subject to intense media scrutiny while the criminal investigation took place. Several of the album's 15 new songs pertain to the child sexual abuse allegations made against him in 1993 and Jackson's perceived mistreatment by the media, mainly the tabloids. Because of this, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I has been described as Jackson's most "personal" album. HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, among nineteen other countries. Six singles were released including the protest songs "Earth Song" and "They Don't Care About Us". "Scream/Childhood", a duet between Jackson and his sister Janet, debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first song in history to debut in the top five of the chart. "You Are Not Alone" was the first song in history to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It was Jackson's final number-one single. Though HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I received generally positive reviews, the lyrics of "They Don't Care About Us" drew accusations of antisemitism; Jackson said the lines had been misinterpreted and replaced them on later pressings. Jackson embarked on the HIStory World Tour which grossed $165 million (equivalent to $268 million in 2019), making it the highest-grossing solo concert tour of the 1990s. It was Jackson's third and final concert tour as a solo artist. The tour attracted more than 4.5 million fans from 58 cities in 35 countries around the world. HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and the best-selling multi-disc album. In August 2018, it was certified 8x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was nominated for five Grammy Awards, winning Best Music Video – Short Form for "Scream". In 2001, the greatest hits disc was reissued as Greatest Hits: HIStory, Volume I.
