Bad reaches number one on US pop and Black singles charts

“Bad” reaches number one on both the US pop and Black singles charts.

The title track holds the top position on the pop chart for two weeks and remains on the chart for fourteen weeks. The achievement reinforces the commercial strength of the album campaign only weeks after Bad itself reaches number one.

This event should eventually include chart-source citations, dates, and the relationship between the single’s chart run and the music video rollout.
