"Man in the Mirror" is a song by Michael Jackson. It peaked at number one when released as a single in the spring of 1988 off his seventh solo album, Bad. It is one of Jackson's most critically acclaimed songs and it was nominated for Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards. The song garnered massive airplay and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. It was only a moderate hit in the UK at the time of its release, peaking at number 21 and becoming the only single from Bad not to reach the UK Top 20 on first release. However, on July 5, 2009, following the news of Jackson's death, the song charted at number 2 in the official UK Singles Chart, having re-entered the chart at 11 the previous week.
The video for "Man in the Mirror" is a notable departure from Jackson's other videos mainly because Jackson himself does not appear in the video (aside from a brief clip toward the end of the video in which he can be seen donning a red jacket and standing in a large crowd, somewhat reminiscent of Where's Wally). Instead, it featured footages of various news events such as the John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy shootings, Live Aid, and notable people including Martin Luther King, Lech Wałęsa, Mother Teresa, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Mahatma Gandhi, Mikhail Gorbechev, Ronald Reagan, and Adolf Hitler.
