Ben (album)
''Ben'' is the second studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The album was released on August 4, 1972, while Jackson was still a member of The Jackson 5. The album received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. ''Ben'' was more successful on music charts than Jackson's previous studio album, having charted within the top ten on the ''Billboard'' 200. Internationally, the album was less successful, peaking at number twelve in Canada, while charting within the top 200 positions in Australia and France.
Worldwide, ''Ben'' has sold a reported 5 million units. The album released one single, the title track "Ben", which was a commercial success on music charts, topping both the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and the Australian ''ARIA'' charts, giving Jackson his first number-one single, domestically and internationally. "Ben" also charted within the top ten in other territories worldwide. "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" was planned to be released as the second single from the album, but canceled for unspecified reasons. Two of the album's songs were "stripped" in 2009 as part of the three-disc compilation ''Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection''.
==Background==
In January 1972, while still a member of the band, Jackson released his first studio album, entitled ''Got to Be There'', under Motown Records. The album received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. The album was not commercially successful worldwide as well as not having a good chart performance on music charts. The album's three singles had a good chart performance on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, with all charting within the top twenty positions on the chart, two peaking within the top five. ''Got to Be There'' was more successful in the U.S. than internationally, peaking at number 14 on the ''Billboard'' 200 while peaking at number 37 in the UK〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michael Jackson - Got To Be There )〕 and 121 in France.
