The album released one single, the title track "Ben", which was a commercial success on the music charts, topping both the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 and the Australian "ARIA" charts, giving Jackson his first number 1 single, domestically and internationally. "Ben" also charted within the top 10 in other territories worldwide. "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" was planned to be released as the second single from the album, but was cancelled for unspecified reasons. Two of the album's songs were "stripped" in 2009 as part of the three-disc compilation "".
