A poster that was created to mark the release of Michael Jackson's posthumous album "Michael" entered the Guinness World Records on Thursday as the world's largest poster.

Measuring 171 ft by 170 ft, the poster smashes the previous record, held by the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The poster took three hours to install in an area adjacent to London's busy Heathrow Airport.

The artwork, which was created by painter Kadir Nelson in 2009, could be seen from planes arriving and departing. 10-song CD, "Michael," launches on December 14th.

The first single will be Jackson's duet with Clay Akon, "Hold My Hand," recorded before the superstar's 2009 death. A video for the single debuted at midnight Thursday on worldwide websites, including MichaelJackson.com.
