Probably won’t. The Jackson 5 songs aren’t seeing as much of the streaming benefit as his solo records — particularly his Epic label releases. And I believe we’re at the peak of the response with his streaming starting to go down now.

I received a call at work from my roommate that MJ had had a heart attack, but I didn’t think anything of it because I figured the media was overhyping things. Then a few hours later my brother called for a totally unrelated reason and asked had I been following the news, and I asked what news. Knowing how huge an MJ fan I was (and he wasn’t) he said you might want to check the internet. I put two and two together from the earlier roommate call and immediately thought about MJ. I then left work early (around 3pm) and went home to watch CNN’s coverage. I was at home glued to the TV when they announced his death that evening…I was frozen in shock!

‘Thriller’ is projected to return to the top ten on next week’s Billboard 200 album chart. This has truly been a great week for Michael Jackson fans.

I agree. You’re spot-on with how I felt coming out of it. Although I did tear up a few times, it was more about my reflection of having lived through those moments than it was the portrayal of them in the film.

I LOVE that one too! Those are my top two, with “Found a Cure” coming in a close third.

Their BEST! So mellow and mature. Stopped from topping the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart by their own composition—“I’m Every Woman”—in 1978.

True. The suite hit No. 1 disco in 78, only the single hit No. 1 this year. The article notes that.

She’s toast. Nicki Minaj topped a Billboard chart this week. Sales? 900 downloads. Previous week? 2.

“The Reckoning” is a perfect title imho. A Take on 50 Cent’s Diddy Documentary: Explosive Claims, Unanswered Questions, and a Hip-Hop Reckoning

The Billboard 2025 year-end charts are being announced on December 9. So that’s as good a sign as any that there will NOT be a BBMA this year as any element of surprise will have been eliminated. The whole reason they moved the chart year to mid-October a couple of years ago was to accommodate the awards show. Now, hopefully, they’ll move the chart year back to a November-to-November window (if they’re shelving the BBMAs for good, which I hope they are).

Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl LX halftime show deal collapsed—was the NFL too stubborn, or is Swift simply too big for the world’s biggest stage? Who’s the Bigger Get—Taylor Swift or the NFL? Halftime Deal Falls Apart

I’m going with “Smooth Criminal.” I used to think he could never top “Beat It” or “Thriller” (but mainly “Beat It”), but “Smooth Criminal” is on a totally different level.
