20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Michael Jackson is a compilation album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on November 21, 2000 by Motown Records. It was released as part of the 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection's series. It features Jackson's early solo recordings from 1971 until 1975, including the hit records "Got to Be There", "Ben", and "Rockin' Robin". The album was re-released on March 6, 2012 as Icon. Icon is the ninth album to be released by Sony and Motown/Universal since Michael Jackson's death in June 2009.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine said the album "doesn't contain every single one of his early solo hits, but it does contain the great majority of them, which means it might satisfy the tastes of many listeners who just want a sampling of the best of this era".
