Tragic that sh*ttier modern artists take the title of most viewed artist over MJ,who paved the way for everyone in the music industry. But it's nice that he has so many views.
 
well here is to the next 500 million views!!!

He's probably the most watched 'catalogue' artist though or thereabouts. And he'll keep quietly racking up those views when people have moved onto the next new thing.
 
It's true, Michael Jackson's videos are always racking up more views. For some of his videos, I notice the numbers often increase by several million from last time I watched them, and I watch them often.
 
I watch the shortened version (3:22), which has 47 million views. Congratulations all round!
 
MJ's channel once took down most of his videos and uploaded them again - they lost many many million views on that...

Had the videos only been uploaded once the numbers would be even higher.

Even in a time of declining sales, the songs of Jackson, who died June 25, 2009, still generates over a million track downloads a year for the last three years running, while his album catalog still moves over 500,000 units annually. Moving over to streaming, so far this year's Jackson music has been played 1.05 billion times, of which 443 million were audio streams and 608 million were video streams. Since Nielsen Music began tracking streaming, Jackson's music has generated 3.1 billion streams, 1.2 billion in audio and 1.9 million in video. The audio streams alone translate into nearly 800,000 album consumption units.


The announcement further noted that Jackson "ranks in the top five of all catalog artists for both audio streaming and video streaming for 2017, as well as in the top 5 of all artists for the combined audio and video streaming for 2013 – 2017."

The majority of views for music videos is from children and teens as they have the spare time to keep re-watching their favourite artists.

The thing is that MJ's stuff is old but still gets massive views. Other artists don't have that lasting effect, so people will eventually get bored of them and they'll no longer get views.
 
the fact a video from 1984 can get those hits is something to be proud of.. to have the video in the top of a modern platform speaks louder than just the exact number it hits.. think about how many people watched that video between 1984-Oct 2009 when the video was posted on youtube.

by that time people have watched/over watched Thriller, yet it can still hit 500 mill.
