The Michael Jackson Chart Watch

What about The Jackson 5 or The Jacksons total streams on Spotify? Where are they ranking? Ma,be you can include their rankings while updatingnMJs ranking.
 
But can Michael Jackson top the chart once more with The Essential (3)? The 2005 compilation hit the top spot in July 2009, the month of his death, and stayed there for seven consecutive weeks. Will The Essential replicate its prior success almost 17 years later?

Overall, according to Official Charts data, just less than 3000 units separate third place from the top spot, so the race is well and truly ON!

MJ’s 1987 classic Bad may also break the Top 10 this week, currently up four places (9).

iTunes is mostly for people above a certain age, the younger generations don't buy digital songs anymore.
Spotify is the most popular streaming platform around so it's the most representative of what the mainstream actually listens to.
Apple music is the second one in popularity compared to Spotify but it's mostly used by people who use iPhones so it's not as representative of the mainstream as Spotify is.

Just for avoidance of doubt;

MJ is currently the #1artist (points wise) on;

Apple
Itunes
YouTube
Shazam
Deezer


And 2nd on Spotify.

Choose any metric you like and MJ is smashing it. It’s just time to accept it guys 🤷‍♂️😉😂
