was:
Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’/Hot Street/The Girl Is Mine/Thriller/Billie Jean/
She’s Trouble/Nightline/Carousel/The Lady In My Life (full length version)

2001 - Mega event at New York's Tme Square:
Thousands of Jackson fans gathered in the streets surrounding the Virgin Megastore, where the King of Pop emerged on a small stage covered with red carpet. After greeting the crowd, Jackson signed autographs within the store for a select few, as he promotes current album and worldwide chart-topper "Invincible"

It’s a great honour,’ he said, speaking at his first in-store record signing at the Virgin Megastore in New York’s Times Square. ‘I’m very happy. We worked very hard on it, and I’m blessed that the fans accepted it the way they did . . .every time there’s a no.1 album, or song, it’s as if this is the first one.’
