There have been a handful of singles that were obviously hits to some extent upon release. Songs that many people born around 2000 most likely never heard but possibly love if they get to know it. Those songs were also critically acclaimed which means they initially got recognition beyond just the fan base.
Yet have been completely neglected by radio programmers ever since and I am puzzled why`
I think the following singles deserve some much needed recognition
Stranger In Moscow: some reviewers called it his best song since Billie Jean
Who Is It: Got compared to Billie Jean and Michael's impromptu performance at Oprah awed many people, it was called by one critic as a haunting masterpiece
Liberian Girl: Made Q Magazines list of the greatest 1001 songs of all time in 2003
Give In To Me: was rightly called Michael's best attempt at creating a hard rock by critics who loved it
Leave Me Alone: was called one of Michael's most monumental songs by Rolling Stone in 2009
Please note that I talk about singles as album tracks are by default almost never picked up by radio anyway so they will always stay hidden.
