Despite its focus on Michael, it was named after the Jacksons' album "Victory". The album was released four days before the tour's first show in Birmingham, Alabama, and turned out to be a commercial success. However, none of the album's songs were performed on the tour. Jermaine had a successful new album out as well ("Jermaine Jackson", also known as "Dynamite", which had been released in April 1984) and some material from that album was performed. Also, all three of the Jacksons' sisters released new albums that year, but Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet were not part of the tour (aside from a cameo appearance for a few moments at the end of the final show with other family members).
