Bad enters the UK albums chart at number one.

The chart debut confirms that the follow-up to Thriller has arrived with enormous public demand. It also begins the UK chart story that will run alongside the album’s singles, videos and tour dates.

The number-one entry is also a benchmark against which the later singles can be read. As the campaign unfolds, the album, videos and tour reinforce one another across charts and media coverage.
