"Faith" also became the first album by a white solo artist to reach number one on the Billboard Top Black Albums chart. Four singles from the album—"Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", and "Monkey"—topped the Billboard Hot 100, making Michael the only British male solo artist to achieve four number one hits from a single album on that chart.
