Michael Jackson — “Man In The Mirror”

This 1987 single is a benchmark for introspective pop balladry. Strangely, while we consider the song a classic (it was one of Michael Jackson‘s five chart-topping singles off Bad), it only made it to #21 in the UK upon its initial release. Downloads of “Man In The Mirror” surged following MJ’s death in 2009, and the Grammy-nominated tune eventually climbed to #2 on the British chart year, over two decades after its original outing.
