Michael is the first posthumous studio album by Michael Jackson, released on December 14, 2010, over a year after his death. The album sparked significant controversy because several tracks — most notably 'Breaking News,' 'Keep Your Head Up,' and 'Monster' — were alleged by members of his family and estate to feature an impostor vocalist rather than Jackson. Despite the controversy, the album debuted in the top five in many countries. It collects recordings made during various sessions spanning the 1990s through the 2000s.
