Every time an Invincible thread is made, Invincible comes to sweep the people off their feet.

KoPSpotify is getting very excited again. But it's The Essential so I'm on board, lol.

What's Michael's spot on Spotify right now? The last time I listened, over a year ago, it was something below 90.
Curious, I can't see it myself now.

Right now it's at 75, has been consistently for at least a month.

Thank you! That's encouraging.))

Invincible is doing really lately. It was last certified 2x platinum in the US way back in January 2002. Surely, it should be 3x platinum by now. Michael's label need to get their act together and update his certifications.

Has any albums in the last two decades been certified that high?

Yes, of course. Thriller was certified 34x platinum not too long ago. 3X platinum isn’t even a lot for an artist of Michael’s stature.

I was a bit angry last night, hostile home stuff, sorry.

I'd say I just wonder how they certify sales in the streaming era. I kinda forgot.

That’s about 5 million copies sold. 2009 sales were massive I wonder where it ranked in the 2009 year end chart with those sales.
Interesting drop in 2006 as well as an interesting resurgence post 2019.
If only we had numbers for his other albums. Number ones and the essential should be interesting and naturally the studio albums.

What would make Thriller re-enter the regular Hot 100? Another Thriller 40 (50) release?
