ODIYL is better than anything on Invincible so yeah he's right. I love ODIYL as much as any self-respecting MJ fan, but YRMW definitely deserves its place on Number Ones. Earth Song wasn't even released in the US, whereas YRMW was a top ten hit. And iirc, ODIYL also wasn't released as a single in the States. Matt, Ben got to number one in the States, hence it being on the US album. Why on earth would Break of Dawn deserve a spot over an actual number one?

Never owned this. US version of Number Ones. It's always really puzzled me how they went with Ben for the US and didn't have a live recording of One Day In Your Life for the European/UK version. ODIYL deserves to be there more than YRMW or most certainly Break of Dawn. Piss off with that. How the hell am I wrong wondering why a number 1 song didnt make it onto Number Ones and several non number ones did!

I wasn't defending Break of Dawn, but apparently it was a favorite of MJs and the original plan before his arrest was to release two "new" singles from Number Ones, so I guess that's why it was included.

Then someone should have put their foot down on that one. Its out of place. ODIYL is MJs most overlooked gem. Thriller didn't even get to number 1 in the States or the UK! The whole album is a sham. And a fraud. And a ... sham. .

In case any of you are interested. Bela Farkas (now called Tamas Farkas) - the boy MJ saved in Budapest in 1994 - is selling his teddy that he got from MJ because his 8 month old child is sick and he needs the money. In case you are interested or know someone who might be. (I met him in a FB group and he asked for my help.)
