Michael (fun fact: his real name was Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou) sold more than 115 million albums during his nearly four-decade career. His 1987 solo debut, "Faith," yielded four No. 1 hits including the title track, "Monkey, "Father Figure" and "One More Try."
The English-born singer earned numerous honors including 12 Billboard Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, three BRIT Awards and two Grammys.
Michael, who died on Christmas Day in 2016 at age 53, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year.
