The use of innovative and amazing music videos to promote the singles also set a trend that is still felt in pop music today. If an artist wants his hit single to be commercially succesful he is forced to make a music video for it.

However, producer Quincy Jones convinced Jackson to trim it down to a single disc, aware of the commercial unviability of double-albums in the wake of Music/FleetwoodMac's 1979 double-LP ''Music/{{Tusk}}'' underselling compared to [[Music/{{Rumours}} its wildly successful predecessor]]; Jackson, a notorious [[ThePerfectionist perfectionist]], reportedly cried when having to cut out an entire record's worth of material in post-production. Much of the scrapped songs would later resurface in leaks and officially as both bonus content on reissues and remixed tracks for posthumous studio albums.
