[edit] Box set information
Each week over a five-month period Sony BMG released 20 of Michael Jackson's biggest hit singles. Each single was issued as a DualDisc allowing each single to contain both the songs and their accompanying music videos.
Jackson worked on the Visionary project as executive producer, giving final approval on the music and video editing and packaging design.
The first CD single to be released as part of the Visionary box set was Jackson's 1983 hit "Thriller." It was released along with the collector's box on February 20, 2006.
Each DualDisc single, which feature a CD format on one side and a DVD format on the other, were eligible to chart on industry sales charts as they were released individually as regular music singles.
It is the fourth consecutive greatest-hits collection by Jackson which Sony has released since 2003 and was the second consecutive Jackson collection to be released with no new material. The set was released in North America on November 14, 2006.
