But Liberian Girl is due a popularity surge. It just depends on the song being used at the right time on the right video or so. It sounds like something teenagers can suddenly go crazy for to me.

Sure, but I was just intrigued that LG - one of your faves - had been overtaken by HCW.

I’m not, Liberian Girl doesn’t get a lot of streams at all while HCW has been top 20 for over 2 years now. i know it close to 100 million but it will take at least another year to reach that milestone

Yes it is one of my faves, incredible harmonies on the chorus And then there is the head voice 🥰

Heaven Can Wait blew up on tiktok over two years ago and while it didn't reach the heights of Chicago, it still gets way more daily streams than Liberian Girl does.

I wish that instead of Heaven Can Wait and Chicago getting popular on tiktok, much better songs such as Liberian Girl got popular instead.

I take your point, I really do, but I love HCW and I love the fact that it's not-so-well-known songs that got the TikTok traction. I know you know this, I'm just standing up for my song, lol. :D

Agreed completely. I’m still waiting on the resurgence of songs like Liberian Girl, Stranger In Moscow, Who Is It, Will You Be There, Leave Me Alone, Come Together etc

Michael Jackson’s Annual ‘Thriller’ Comeback Has Begun

Every year, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" returns to the Billboard charts as Halloween approaches. 2024's comeback has already started.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

"He likely didn’t realize it at the time he wrote** and recorded the song, but Michael Jackson crafted an annual smash with one of his most famous tracks. “Thriller” is one of a handful of cuts that return to a number of Billboard charts every year when Halloween spirit fills the air. The tune has become connected with the holiday, and people all around the world listen to the smash in huge numbers as fall begins.

While Halloween may be more than a month away, “Thriller” is already starting its comeback. The single returns to one tally in the U.S. this frame, and this may be just the beginning for the time-tested hit.

“Thriller” reappears on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart this frame. Jackson’s creepy favorite lands at No. 7 on Billboard’s list of the bestselling R&B-only tracks throughout the country.

Jackson’s song has already spent plenty of time on the R&B sales tally, and it will seemingly continue to add to its sum for years to come. The track has racked up 67 stays on the R&B Digital Song Sales list throughout its lifetime, which actually began long before the chart was introduced. It’s his longest-running win by months on the list.

“Thriller” is one of Jackson’s two No. 1s on the ranking. The bestselling single reached the peak position for the first time in November 2017, just after that year’s Halloween celebrations came to a close. His only other leader arrived in 2018, years after his death. He was credited on Drake’s “Don’t Matter to Me,” which debuted in first place in July 2018.

Jackson has scored half a dozen top 10 hits on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart throughout his career–and long after it. The tally now includes just 10 spaces, so any time a track lands on the list, it immediately becomes a top 10 smash–either for the first time, or, in the case of “Thriller,” again. Jackson has seen 15 tunes reach the roster, with several debuting when there was more real estate available.

As the single “Thriller” begins to gain momentum, the album with which it shares its name is on the rise as well. The Thriller full-length gains nearly 2% in consumption (according to Luminate), which helps the set push forward five spots on the Billboard 200. The set is also up four rungs on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums tally, making a home at No. 44 this frame."

**Obviously Thriller was written by Rod Temperton!

the aftermath of LN was brutal :-(
At least I assume that was the reason for the low numbers
