Regardless of its mysterious origins (most accounts said it was self-imposed, although Jackson claims it was taken from friend Elizabeth TaylorЂЂЂs speech about him at an awards ceremony), the nickname stuck. The premiere of ЂЂЂBlack or WhiteЂЂЂ was broadcast simultaneously in 27 countries on November 14, 1991 with an estimated audience of 500 million people - the largest audience ever to view a music video. Michael Jackson was back, and the world took notice.
Of course, the artist was none other than Michael Jackson, but now he had this official-sounding title tacked onto his name. Where did this royal title come from? Did the media name him that? Did he bestow it upon himself? How would Elvis feel about it?
In the year 1991, when MTV was still primarily known for playing music videos, a new album from an artist who helped define the channel in the ЂЂЂ80s was being released. This album was going to be huge, and MTV kicked into high gear promoting its World Premiere airing of the first singleЂЂЂs video. The album was called ЂЂЂDangerous.ЂЂЂ The single was called ЂЂЂBlack or White.ЂЂЂ And the artist? Well, he was suddenly called ЂЂЂThe King of Pop.ЂЂЂ
