This page lists albums, singles, and compilations by the musician Joe Jackson. Jackson's recording career as a solo artist began in 1979, with the release of his debut album Look Sharp! . The album was recorded with the Joe Jackson Band, with whom he would release two more albums, I'm the Man and Beat Crazy , the latter of which was credited to the full band rather than simply Jackson.
Following Beat Crazy, Jackson broke up with his backing band and recorded a series of albums, ranging from cover albums (1981's Jumpin' Jive ) to original studio albums (1982's Night and Day ) and live albums (1986's Big World , an album of original material recorded live). He has also experimented with movie soundtracks and classical music. He reunited with the Joe Jackson Band for 2003's Volume 4 and has since recorded several more solo albums, the most recent being What a Racket! in 2023.

"Who Is It" is a song by American singer Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on July 13, 1992, as the fifth single from Jackson's eighth studio album, Dangerous (1991). The song was written and composed by Jackson, and produced by Jackson and Bill Bottrell. The song's lyrics pertain to despair over being left by someone you love; some critics noted a comparison to the lyrics of the song to Jackson's single "Billie Jean" from the album Thriller. As part of the promotion for the song, two music videos were released in 1992. The song was not performed by Jackson on any of his tours. He did, however, perform a small segment of the song in his interview with Oprah Winfrey in early 1993.
American singer Michael Jackson released 67 singles as a lead artist, and 10 as a featured artist. One of the best-selling artists of all time, his album and single sales as of 2013 stood at 400 million. In the United States, Jackson amassed 13 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles and was the first artist to have a top-ten single in the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades. In 2012, Jackson was ranked the fifth best selling singles artist in the United Kingdom with 15.3 million singles sold.
