I have always posted youtube achievements in this thread. This thread isn't just about music charts, but also youtube charts and I think this counts as that.
 
UK Album Charts:

Number Ones: 47(-6) ; 450 weeks

Official Music Video Chart:

Moonwalker: 16(+4) ; 470 weeks

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Michael Jackson's 'Number Ones' has now spent 450 weeks on the UK Official Albums Chart Top 100.<br><br>It remains the longest charting album released this century.</p>&mdash; Michael Jackson Charts (@MJJCharts) <a href="https://twitter.com/MJJCharts/status/1279157970237038594?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

- In other UK news, Billie Jean was recently certified 2x Platinum for sales/streams of 1,200,000. It becomes Michael's first multi platinum song in the UK. Billie Jean has sales/streams of 1,440,000 so this certification should have happened a while ago.

- Also the Jacksons song Blame It On The Boggie was certified gold recently. It's their first certification in the UK since 2004 (not counting the Jackson 5).

For anyone who cares, in the UK this is how certifications work:

- Platinum: 600,000 (Single) & 300,000 (Album)
- Gold: 400,000 (Single) & 100,000 (Album)
- Silver: 200,000 (Single) & 60,000 (Album)

Do you mean the US charts? If yes, then I would say no. Michael has had two albums on the US charts since the start of the year and they both are pretty consistent in their performance each week.
