Latest on MJJC

"Michael", a biopic about Michael Jackson, is officially happening.

MJJC isn't what it used to be. Lately, some immature individuals have been causing unnecessary arguments and derailing conversations with off-topic discussions that have nothing to do with the thread.

I'm not really excited by the biopic if I'm honest, but I am excited to go he cinema and hear Michael's music blasted loud.

No disrespect but I hope they don't have Jaafar singing

The "last" Beatles song became a top 10 Hit literally just a year ago. Xscape went number 1 in multiple countries. MJ has gotten Two top 10 hits in the 2010s. There is interest and there is a chance for success. Especially if they make a duets album.

Any band who get that much media attention would have scored a hit that way. Truth is I already forgot that song like most other people probably. Getting a top 10 hit is sometimes overrated. In this case of the Beatles it certainly was. And in case of MJ getting one with Drake it is too.

Why is it so important to stay on topic? We will automatically go "on topic" once there are new announcements or when the trailer is released. In the meantime we have got to entertain ourselves.

Do that in dm's or in the chat. Or maybe... visit other forums?

It could be argued that songs like Chicago or Heaven Can Wait getting some sort of afterlife through Tiktok are more real "hits" than getting a fluke No. 1 for one week and being forgotten immeditely like Now and Then was.

Doesn't this site have a ignore/block button? Problem solved. 😄 Nobody is forcing you to read anybody's posts, you volunteer to read them. I don't block, but when i see certain names I don't even bother to read what they post. Also I'm pretty sure that anywhere on the internet there are trolls or cynics. Places like Lipstick Alley & Prince.org is full of them. Go read the comments on almost any Youtube video or Twitter/X & Instagram. A lot of news/magazine sites block comments until they are approved or remove them.

That's true but I felt that way about the Beatles in general. That song got me to listen to them though and now I'm a real fan. So that sort of publicity is still enough, still a valid success for MJ or any other artist, hardcore elitist not withstanding.

Chicago just keeps hanging in there.

So is Heaven Can Wait, it is top 20 every week.

So Chicago is almost on 300 million streams, approximately half of Thriller’s total. Yet we see Thriller scoring about the same amount of streams as Chicago daily. It makes me wonder how it is possible it is catching up on Thriller. It can only be so that Chicago was at one point on 1 million daily streams I guess

I don't pretend to understand any of it, I just post stuff as FYI. 🤣

Just posted some monthly figures on the chart watch thread. Chicago is No.5 in that one, as well.

Not sure, interesting question or dilemma or whatever.

I’d argue that songs getting radio play during rush hour in the morning and evening are much more of a hit than Chicago that has never been played on the radio nor has it ever entered an official chart.
 
Crazy how the movie is only a little over 7 months away now, it feels like it was just yesterday when we got that video of Jaafar rehearsing Man In The Mirror. It's like in another blink of an eye the movie will already be here lol

I seriously can't wait for this biopic, 2025 is packed with a lot of releases that I'm looking forward to but Michael is still the thing that hypes me up the most.
