This song really sounds great on the radio! Wonderful energy and spark with a certain timeless quality. Classic MJ! With the right video and promotion, it could become a HUGE hit around the world. Time will tell.

I really hope so, but SONY should make it an event.

As far as google translator allows me - Sony and the Estate are planning to involve fans in promotion of BTM:
LAUNCH OF MASH UP INEDIT WITH FANS OF MICHAEL JACKSON ON MARCH 07



- BILL VIDEO BEHIND THE MASK INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS AND IDEAS OF THE WORLD TO GIVE AS A SINGLE ARTISTIC VISION -



New York, NY - To perpetuate the spirit of innovative short films from Michael Jackson, with the desire to constantly push the boundaries of creativity by freezing the looks, the feelings and emotions associated with music, the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music will give all music lovers an opportunity to help create online video to illustrate the concept for single Behind The Mask. Using the Internet in innovative ways, each may, from March 7, make its own contribution by creating a segment that will be part of the Project Behind The Mask.



Led by the creative team at Radical Media and director Dennis Liu, participants should log onto the site http://behindthemask.michaeljackson.com, presenting a simple interface consisting of tools defining the roles that everyone can interpret in this unique project. Initially, users choose a dance, words, or reactions of the crowd, the "performers" can also indulge in a dance demonstration by performing the moonwalk, lean, or by standing on tiptoe. Then, using the template of the site which is to divide the screen into several parts, they can film their performance directly on the site using their webcam (or video camera) and upload them at the precise time sequence corresponding to the song.



After gathering all the sequences submitted by participants worldwide, the director will select the best for inclusion in this historic video by Michael Jackson. The final result of Behind The Mask Project is presented in the first week of April.



Behind the Mask is a song from the CD with Michael is unanimity among both fans and critics. Michael was ranked ahead of many rankings in several countries late 2010 and has so far sold some 3 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the most important albums of the year . Her success underlines again the importance of Michael as an icon and undisputed superstar of music, transcending cultures and languages.

New Michael Jackson Singles Coming From The Global #1 Album "Michael"


Album Already Achieves Platinum Status in 17 Countries Worldwide
MJ_Hollywood_Tonight_V2_c.jpg
New York, NY – In the coming weeks, the Estate and Sony Music will be releasing "Hollywood Tonight" and "Behind the Mask" from the global hit album MICHAEL. "Behind The Mask" will be released as the radio single in countries including the United States, Canada, Japan and France. "Hollywood Tonight" will be the single released to radio in the rest of the world and videos for both songs will be released worldwide. Each Sony Music affiliate will also release more information on the plans in their respective territories.
Both "Behind The Mask" and "Hollywood Tonight" are fan and critical favorites from MICHAEL – the unique collection of Michael Jackson songs completed posthumously and released in December by Sony and his Estate. The album includes material Michael had been working on for future release prior to his passing along with other vintage work he planned to place on future albums. Joe Vogel, author of the upcoming book Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson, wrote that while "Posthumous works are notoriously tricky…This, ultimately, is the most important quality of Michael: it feels like Michael."
"Behind the Mask," which was recently completed by John McClain and Jon Nettlesbey, is praised by critics for infusing the spirit of Michael's music from the past. Rolling Stone called it "a fiercely funky cousin to "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" The song is written by Michael Jackson, Chris Mosdell and Ryuichi Sakamoto and produced by Michael Jackson, John McClain and Jon Nettlesbey. The song's recognizable hook is a sample of "Behind The Mask" as performed by Ryuichi Sakamoto's Yellow Magic Orchestra. And "Hollywood Tonight", which USA TODAY said "pulsates with Billie Jean-esque energy, was written during the time of the Invincible album. In 2007, Michael pulled the track out of the archives to work on the song with producer Theron "Neff-U" Feemster. "Hollywood Tonight" was written by Michael Jackson and Brad Buxer and the track was produced by Teddy Riley, Michael Jackson with co-producer by Theron "Neff-U" Feemster. Ellen DeGeneres debuted and danced to the song with her audience during her popular talk show.

MICHAEL was the #1 global album upon its release in December and has shipped over 3 million units worldwide making it one of the biggest albums of 2010. The album's nonstop success continues to underscore Michael's importance to his fans as a global icon and superstar, and shows how his music continues to transcend cultures and languages. The platinum status for MICHAEL has now grown to 17 countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, France (2x), Italy (2x), Spain, Denmark, Poland, Russia(2x), Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic (5x), Canada, India (2x), China, Taiwan, Korea and the Middle East. Michael is now Gold in 18 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Portugal, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden.
MICHAEL marks another release under the new agreement between The Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music announced in March 2010 that continues the label's 35-year relationship with Michael and his music. During that time, Michael sold hundreds of millions of records, had 13 #1 singles and released the pop culture phenomenon "Thriller," which remains music's all-time bestselling album with more than 100 million copies sold worldwide.

I think April is too late, if they're already announcing the video, it will probably get released until the middle of March.

Is it just for me or is the promo CD very bland? :/.
