Michael still holds his spot 6 decades in. It's weird to see him in this list full of unknown artists (for me anyway). Liam Payne is a name I didn't know a week ago. I know One Direction by name and I know Bruno mars obviously but the rest...??? I don't think anyone in 1975 would have guessed this was a possibility in 2024.

All those artists come and go but it seems only a handful remain and I'm happy Michael is one of those select few.
Ngl, it's a weird list (to me). I don't usually post stuff from this account bc I'm never sure where the data comes from. Not saying it's not legit, but I'm just a bit uncertain. But, yeah, apart from Michael, One Direction and Liam (RIP) I don't have a clue who anyone else is on this list. Oh, sorry, Bruno Mars, obvs. But none of the others. But, whoever they are, they're trending and Michael is up there so I'm happy.
Bruno Mars made a song with ROSÉ. Hence the trending

Liam Payne was a big Michael fan. Apparently he used to sing MJ stuff at One Direction shows. Fun fact: Liam's birthday was 29 August, same as Michael's. I'm sure you were desperate to know that, lol. :ROFLMAO:

"Some musicians are known to be strong sellers, even in today's streaming-focused music industry. Others can't sell an album, but they dominate platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Then there are acts like Jackson, whose music reaches so many people in so many generations, it's impossible to contain his popularity to a single success metric." - @PopBangHugh, Forbes"
