To implement a new "Live for Now" campaign, Pepsi promoted the 25th anniversary of Bad by printing one billion Pepsi cans with a photo of Jackson from the "Smooth Criminal" video. [1] Limited edition 16 ounce (450 ml) cans were produced and distributed worldwide. On September 18, 2012, Sony Music and the Estate of Michael Jackson in partnership with BET broadcast a two-hour TV special titled Bad 25: The Short Films of Michael Jackson, which showed the short films from Bad.

Bad 25 debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Pop Catalog Albums chart and in Italy, and has since been certified Gold in Poland. The album received critical acclaim; some criticism however was directed at the production and features on the album. [5]

Marketing and promotion

To implement a new "Live for Now" campaign, Pepsi planned to promote the 25th anniversary of Bad by printing one billion Pepsi cans with a photo of Michael Jackson from the "Smooth Criminal" video (which is not to be included on the CD or DVD itself). [1] Limited edition 16 ounce (450 ml) cans were produced and distributed worldwide. [6]

The documentary was shown at the 69th Venice International Film Festival from August 29 to September 8, 2012, and premiered (in a edited version) on ABC on November 22, 2012.

On September 18, 2012, Sony Music and the Estate of Michael Jackson in partnership with BET broadcast a two-hour TV special titled Bad 25: The Short Films of Michael Jackson, which shows the short films from Bad , which like Thriller revolutionized the industry, and also features interviews with fans, journalists and critics.

Singles

"I Just Can't Stop Loving You", the original debut single from Bad, was re-released as a CD single in the United States on June 5, 2012, as a Walmart exclusive. An unreleased demo, titled "Don't Be Messin' 'Round", is featured as the single's B-side. The song has been called a "beautiful solo piano and vocal piece" by Jackson's longtime engineer Bruce Swedien. The single, which has not been available as a digital download, has also been released on vinyl (the vinyl will include the original B-side, "Baby Be Mine" from Thriller , rather than "Don't Be Messin' 'Round"). [1] The re-released single debuted atop Billboard's Hot Singles Sales chart, which ranks the top-selling physical singles according to Nielsen SoundScan. [7] The new release of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" debuted at No. 1 with 5,000 copies sold. [8]

"Bad (Afrojack Remix) [DJ Buddha Edit]" featuring Pitbull was released on August 14, 2012. As a digital single prior to the album release, the single appeared on several countries' music charts. It debuted at Number 52 on Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart as the title "Bad 2012" on the week of September 15, 2012, and peaked at Number 6 several weeks later. [9] It also appeared on US Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Songs Chart with Number 45 for one week on September 1, 2012. On the week of September 29, 2012, it debuted on Hot Dance Club Songs chart at Number 42, and peaked at Number 18. [10] It also appeared on Austrian Singles Chart at Number 45. [11]

"I'm So Blue" impacted Italian radio on October 1, 2012, [12] and was also released to some Polish [13] and Chinese [14] stations in December.

Commercial performance

The album opened in the United Kingdom at number six with sales of 11,475 copies, [15] but for the second week, it fell to number thirty-eight with a severe buffeting of 3,365 copies sales. [16] In Japan, 26,000 copies of this album had been sold during the first week of its release as number ten on Oricon album chart, [17] the sales fell to 5,307 copies as number twenty-four for the second week. [18] In the United States, as per Billboard 's chart ruling, the 2 CD standard version of Bad 25 is regarded as the same album as the original Bad (1987) but with added studio tracks, and therefore caused Bad to re-enter the Billboard 200 albums chart at #23, while the deluxe edition (including a full live disc) is regarded as a new album release and debuted at #46 on the Billboard 200. The album sold a combined total of about 47,000 copies in its first week in the US, spending 3 consecutive weeks atop the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. Spike Lee's Bad 25 documentary aired on ABC Thanksgiving (November 22) in the United States in a 60-minute edited version while the full 123 minute version was broadcast in the UK and Ireland on BBC2 on December 1.

Drowned in Sound 9/10 [23]

The album received critical acclaim, though some of the new material was received unfavorably. Ray Rahman from Entertainment Weekly grades the album "A", and reminds the box set is "a potent reminder of just how much Bad's pulsing pop holds up", and the previously unreleased songs are "real treasures". [21] Mike Diver from BBC said, it is "an awesome, evergreen and essential pop masterpiece". [24] Chaz Lipp from The Morton Report reviews the album "a terrific set". [25] The Los Angeles Times reacted positively to the product; however, they were averse to the new remixes, especially collaboration with Nero, Pitbull and Afrojack.

Randall Roberts said "these are terrible commercial house tracks, and are an insult to MJ's memory because they do it so ungracefully". [26] Evan Sawdey gave the release 7/10, criticizing Afrojack as "outright trash", and saying of Speed Demon: "it ends up sounding more like a Nero song with MJ's vocals than it does a genuine Michael Jackson remix". [27] Supajam simply referred to the song as a disgrace, [28] while Michael Cragg said "the world's worst rapper, Pitbull. He lazily croaks his way through two verses, spouting such lines as "I'm so out of this planet I speak a third language called that moon talk, in four years catch me with a billion doing that moonwalk". Just after he says billion he nearly manages to soil the trademark "hee hee", which only just masks the distant sound of Jackson spinning in his grave." [5]
