Michael Jackson recorded 'Blood on the dancefloor' in 1991, during the sessions for his eighth album 'Dangerous'. The song was written by Michael Jackosn, but producer Teddy Riley came up with the title. It failed to make the final track listing of the album, but in 1997 it became the title track of Jackson's remix album, released after the double album 'History'.Riley was reportedly upset that Jackson didn't call him to 'vacuum clean this old master'. Riley wanted to update the musical composition before it appeared on the remix album. The song was released as the first single from the album and reached number 42 in the US Billboard Hot 100. It was more successful in the UK, where the single topped the singles chart and in the Netherlands, where the single peaked at number 7.
Like 'History', which I found recently as well, this is a very rare single, released only for jukebox purposes, apparently.
