An ECHO is a German music award granted every year by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie (an association of recording companies). Each year's winner is determined by the previous year's sales. The ECHO is the successor to the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis (German Record Award).

Jackson was awarded with an ECHO award for "Best International Artist of the Year" in 1993 [12] and inducted into ECHO Hall of Fame in 2010.
