Read the text about "Earth Song" and answer the question.

While the “Earth Song” single was not released in the United States, it reached № 1 in seven countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy and Norway. In the United Kingdom, “Earth Song” became Michael’s best-selling single ever, selling more than one million copies, earning the covered Christmas №1 spot in 1995 over The Beatles and U2 and spending six weeks atop the U.K. Singles Chart – his longest stay at №1 in that country.

Written in a hotel in Austria while on tour, “Earth Song” was a passionate plea for environmental awareness in the face of unchecked global development. “I was feeling so much pain and so much suffering of plight of the Planet Earth. And as for me, this is Earth’s Song, because I think nature is trying so hard to compensate for man’s mismanagement of the Earth,” Jackson said of the song. “And with the ecological imbalance going on, and a lot of problems in the environment, I think Earth feels the pain, and she has wounds, and it’s about some of the joys of the planet as well. But this is my chance to pretty much let people hear the voice of the planet.”

Burnt-out forests, dead animals on the African savannah and war-torn neighbourhoods are shown as Michael and other citizens of the world drop to their knees and grab the earth beneath them. Suddenly, the earth shakes and violent winds blow as Michael sings the final verse of the song, and the planet is magically restored.

The short film earned Michael Jackson the Doris Day Music Award from the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards in 1996. One year later, it was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. It is one of the 12 of Michael’s short films to be VEVO Certified for more than 100 million views.
