Taking the number one spot in the Smooth’s Icon poll is the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson!
MJ sold over 350 million records worldwide with a whopping 27 million alone in the UK alone, making him Britain’s single-selling male artist in UK history. The singer had seven number one UK singles including ‘One Day In Your Life’, ’Billie Jean’ and ‘You Are Not Alone’.
In the two weeks following his 2009 death, Michael Jackson had 13 songs in the UK Top 40 chart and his Greatest Hits album took the UK number one spot for an incredible six weeks.
