Michael Jackson has had 2 top 10 hits since his death. One featured Justin Timberlake, the other featured Drake. If you want chart success for a dead musician you have to make it relevant to the downloading/streaming crowd. The only way to do that is to get a big name on the song. The Weeknd would be perfect IMO. The public already associates MJ and The Weeknd as similar in vocal styles. Providing the song was good, it would be a big hit.
We don’t need any more “Hits” just need new music. Chart success is not important as MJ isn’t around to promote. The fans just need something new! We have been here through the best and worst of times. It’s getting really old waiting for something. I know, we should be happy with what we already have, that’s BS too plenty of stuff that could be released.

The Estate kinda confirmed HIStory 25 btw. The album I mean
I'd love nothing more than a new MJ song, I understand why the Estate has been quiet, but to miss what have been Michael's 50th anniversary as a solo artist and not celebrate it would be a mistake
I'm not really crazy about manufactured duets personally, I understand the need for it (especially with the post trial tracks) but I wouldn't want a guest artist on a finished Mike demo like Throwing Your Life Away
Thank you to AlwaysThere and Travis3000 for the information about the unreleased tracks by the way. It's really interesting to find out even more new information at this point
A song doesn't always need to get a high chart position to last.
If the song quality is good enough it will be fine. - Many of MJ's song wasn't even released as singles - so they never had a chart position, but they are all just as good IMO. - Who Is It, Keep The Faith, Will You Be There and Heal The World are amongst my favorite songs from Dangerous.
