blood on the dance floor
morphine (it's so different and it deserved to be released, would have been a huge statements mj doesn't only do pop songs)

invincible:
threatened (imagine mj doing a scary short film)
unbreakable (i heard he wanted to do a short film and release it as first single)

speechless
ps. he had so much material for invincible, it's a shame he couldn't do what he wanted for this album.

Let's see:

OTW;
I can't help it
Get on The Floor

Thriller;
Nothing, the whole damn album has been singles :p

Bad;
Also nothing, same reason as above :p

Dangerous;
Dangerous (this song is huge as is, really wish he made a short film for it)

HIStory;
2Bad
Tabloid Junkie
Smile

Blood On The Dance Floor;
Is It Scary

Invincible;
Unbreakable
Break of Dawn
Heaven Can Wait
Butterflies (I still have no clue what the hell is up with this one, has it been released or not? Regardless I wanted a video and all that for it)
Speechless
2000 Watts
The Lost Children (even if people won't like it it's obvious MJ wanted this to be the "heal the world" of invincible so why not? :p)
Whatever Happens
Threatened


Obviously, Invincible is the only album with really missed potential when it came to singles.

Butterflies was released in the UK but dont know about else where
 
Dangerous
Keep The Faith
Is It Scary
Morphine
Unbreakable

Dangerous
Why You Wanna Trip On Me
She Drives Me Wild
Keep The Faith
Unbreakable
Invincible
Speed Demon
Just Good Friends
 
She drives me wild with a black/white video. That track is timeless!
 
I think an album should be released of all his unrealeased songs/songs that didn't make it to his albums. I would buy that!

Also, I believe that he recorded duets with Freddie Mercury many years ago. I heard they were being released, but I'm not sure when. I'd really love to hear them sing together.
 
Dangerous was supposed to be the 10th single off the album. At least we have the live performance of the song as a look at what could have been in a short film.
 
I would have loved for Dangerous to be released, I can almost imagine the short film in my head, I have a feeling it would have been up there with Ghosts, Thriller and Smooth Criminal, and Unbreakable too.

I think Is It Scary should have been released it is in my opinion his best horror type song, Speechless would have been a nice You Are Not Alone type song for Invincible, with a beautiful video, 2000 Watts would have been interesting to see also.
 
I'm gonna have to go 'Just Good Friends'. It's in my opinion a great track and I think it shoud've been released as a single.

Shout or Escape should have been on "Michael" in place of xxxxx. They would've been much better singles than "Behind the Mask" or "Hollywood Tonight." Those last two songs just don't do it for me.

"Blue Gangster" would've been another great one.
And, of course, "Butterflies," one of my all-time favorite MJ songs.
 
Morphine should have been given the release it deserved
 
Interesting question. I think of Thriller and Bad almost all songs on the albums have been singles haha. Not missing one there.

Would have loved to have seen Dangerous as a single. Great track.

2 Bad, History and Come Together (even though it's a Beatles cover, it's amazing)

Speechless, Lost CHildren and Whatever Happens.

Off Michael I think they should have released Much too soon.
