July 2, 1988: Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" hit number 1 on the Hot 100 and made him the first artist to score five Number 1 singles from the same album (Bad).
During his life, Michael Jackson had to explain his songs, especially Dirty Diana. In fact, Michael spent a great deal of time explaining who Dirty Diana was not about, rather than telling the true meaning of the song.
