The Michael Jackson Chart Watch

Yesterday 15 January 2023 I wrote down all streams for the Invincible album at around 17.30 PM. Today I do the same for comparison because I am curious how much each song gains in a 24h period.

Yesterdays tally:

Unbreakable 16.426.368
Heartbreaker 5.499.926
Invincible 5.666.514
Break of Dawn 14.028.878
Heaven Can Wait 32.528.262
You rock My World 88.264.539
Butterflies 38.105.208
Speechless 8.929.659
2000 Watts 4.309.146
You Are My Life 5.289.767
Privacy 3.922.380
Don't Walk Away 3.705.042
Cry 4.221.202
Lost Children 3.864.267
Whatever Happens 9.301.874
Threatened 7.086.376

Todays added streams in 24 hours time:

Unbreakable gained 6813 streams
Heartbreaker 2374
Invincible 2279
Break of Dawn 6737
Heaven can Wait 69.243
You Rock My World 71.005
Butterflies 22.236
Speechless 4222
2000 Watts 2217
You Are My life 2104
Privacy 1465
Don't Walk Away 1551
Cry 1614
The Lost Children 1570
Whatever Happens 4261
Threatened 2169

So that's it. Heaven can wait didn't fall back to the 2000+ streams of the other non singles so it looks like it will stay and probably lowly gain in popularity as years go by. It is now at the same level of YRMW in daily streaming despite never getting any attention. Butterflies was a radio hit back in the day and apparently some people have not forgotten that as it is clearly the 3rd favorite song on the album. HCW will eventually surpass Butterflies as it has 3 times more streams a day.
Unbreakable and Break of Dawn are slightly ahead of the pack due to the inclusion of the songs on compilation albums "scream" and "number ones".
2 other songs that slightly stand out are Speechless and Whatever Happens. This marginal lead comes from them being fan favorite tracks.

The least popular tracks gain about 500 000 streams a year.

I'm still slightly mystified as to how it all got started for HCW on TT but don't really care. As long as people are finding it and listening, I'm happy.

I am happy to see that Heaven Can Wait is still getting a decent amount of daily streams, after it blew up in the summer.

I would love to see Speechless or Butterflies go viral on tiktok. These two songs deserve way more, in my opinion.

Speechless will blow up when it plays over the ending credits of the biopic ;-)

Anyway I'm doing more albums. I just wrote down the tallies today of Thriller and the T40 extra disc so if all goes well and my brain doesn't shut down I will make a post about it tomorrow lol. I'm also interested in the tallies of his Motown records.

That`s a good idea about Speechless, such a incredible song.

I remember when Invincible got released I send leaked MP3s to a good friend who I would describe as a casual fan at best. A day later he said to me he had been playing speechless non stop. I think it can have a big impact on people.

It’s the vocals. While Michael’s vocals on the invincible album weren’t the best, his vocal delivery on Speechless is one of his best. He sounds angelic.
 
These are the Spotify totals of MJ's Thriller 40 for 16/01/2023

Wanna Be Starting Something 147.797.107
Baby Be Mine 46.139.178
The Girl Is Mine 90.913.926
Thriller 457.431.639
Beat It 818.751.008
Billie Jean 1.290.739.852
Human Nature 142.281.817
PYT 313.453.388
The Lady In My Life 44.519.709
Starlight 1.496.733
Who Do You Know 347.600
The Toy 231.729
Sunset Driver 825.648
Got The Hots 531.376
Behind The Mask 271.496
She's Trouble 227.464
Can't Get Out Of The Rain 306.267
Carousel 418.954
What A Lovely Way To Go 223.096

Added streams in 24h time:

Wanna Be Starting Something 58.263
Baby Be Mine 21.240
The Girl Is Mine 48.082
Thriller 231.694
Beat It 505.206
Billie Jean 764.360
Human Nature 73.702
PYT 133.377
The Lady In My Life 24.961
Starlight 5094
Who Do You Know 2239
The Toy 1522
Sunset Driver 2817
Got The Hots 2661
Behind The Mask 1816
She's Trouble 1542
Can't Get Out Of The Rain 1637
Carousel 2982
What A Lovely Way To Go 1416

So the main thriller tracks are all popular. All 9 tracks get more streams a day than all but 2 songs on Invincible (YRMW and HCW). In roughly 5 months time Beat It will be part of BILLION club.
The T40 tracks are all on the same level as the 13 invincible tracks (bar the current big 3 of the album). Starlight is the main standout with 2 to 3 times more streams as the other "new" tracks each day. In maximum 1,5 years time all the new tracks will have breached the 1 million barrier at the current rate.

Interesting tidbit is that heaven can wait gets more daily streams than the classic WBSS

Ainsi, les principales pistes de thriller sont toutes populaires. Les 9 pistes reçoivent plus de flux par jour que toutes les chansons sauf 2 sur Invincible (YRMW et HCW). Dans environ 5 mois, Beat It fera partie du club BILLION.
Les titres du T40 sont tous au même niveau que les 13 titres invincibles (sauf les 3 grands actuels de l'album). Starlight est la principale vedette avec 2 à 3 fois plus de flux que les autres "nouveaux" morceaux chaque jour. Dans un délai maximum d'un an et demi, toutes les nouvelles pistes auront franchi la barrière du million au rythme actuel.

Une information intéressante est que le ciel peut attendre obtient plus de flux quotidiens que le WBSS classique

Here are the daily Spotify streaming totals of 3 Jacksons albums from 19/01 till 20/01/2023: Destiny, Triump and Victory.
I'm not posting the totals anymore (time consuming), you can open Spotify and watch them yourself. Just the daily streams.

Blame it on the boogie 134.483
Push me away 502
Things I do for you 735
Shake your body 6414
Destiny 476
Bless his soul 197
All night dancing 383
That's what you get for being polite 1007

Can you feel it 16327
Lovely one 1166
Your ways 341
Everybody 539
Heartbreak hotel 14376
Time waits for no one 520
Walk right now 855
Give It up 438
Wondering who 408

Torture 10.858
Wait 240
One more chance 253
Be not always 122
State of shock 2339
We can change the change the world 94
The hurt 98
Body 329

What can I say these streams are as good as non existent and I firmly believe it is because the songs are credited to the Jacksons and not Michael Jackson despite Michael being the lead singer in most of those tracks. So who listens to these? I don't know perhaps only the absolute die hard fans? Maybe it are some weird people who love the Jacksons but not Michael Jackson? On these 3 albums there are only about 5 tracks that equal Invincible's daily streams and they are already quite low.
I wanna highlight one of my favorites: be not always, it gets played 122 times a day in a world of 8 billion people.
Forgotten music.

I am negatively surprised, I'm in a state of shock. "Things I do for you", "shake your body", "state of shock"... Are "we can change the world" streams for real? 🙄

Yeah that's what came out of my calculator lol

Now there is also a single edit for shake your body down to the ground which probably has about 10 to 15 000 streams a day as well but this is the long album version.

This is horrifying. Even I can't find a positive spin. I'm shocked. I listen to the Jackson's almost as much as I listen to MJ's solo work. How could anyone not? It's literally Michael Jackson. Do people not understand what they are missing???

Anyway to follow your lead, Push Me Away is one of my favorite songs ever. Only 502 plays daily in the world?? How?? 😭

I do refuse to think of this music as forgotten, though. That word is too painful. Let me rebrand that... deprioritized? Which means it can change. It can be reprioritized. But how? What needs to happen for the 35 million monthly MJ listeners to get expand to the Jackson's? Sigh. This is more of a rhetorical question but either way this just kills me.
