The Collection is a compilation box set by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on June 29, 2009 by Epic Records. The album was released four days after his death, though its release was already scheduled before Jackson's passing. With the exception of HIStory, it contains all of Jackson's Epic studio albums. It has peaked at number one in several countries.

This set was originally available, albeit in different packaging, in 2001 as a very rare UK promo set to celebrate the release of Invincible at 34 Westferry Circus in Canary Wharf, London. This compilation also marks the beginning of Jackson's posthumous legacy. The artwork scheme is similar to the King of Pop UK edition album.

Chart performance

[edit]

The album spent two weeks atop the European Top 100 Albums chart.[1]
