The Michael Jackson Chart Watch

It's weird because on my Spotify it still isn't in MJ's top 10 most streamed tracks. Heaven can wait still is nr 10 closing in on 20 million streams in a day or 2. So by that logic shouldn't that also be on the viral chart then?

I don’t know how Spotify works but is the top 10 about most overall streams or songs that are currently the most streamed?

It is currently because the likes of thriller haven’t been in the top 10 the last 2 months. I think it updates weekly. The top 10 doesn’t change a lot, I think heaven can wait took over either thriller or remember the time’s top 10 spot in the last 2 months.

I will post the current exact total of heaven can wait and Chicago here

For convenience sake I'll say it is Saturday 23 July (we're almost there), the total streams stand at 19 613 222.
Chicago is at 23 030 316
I will check again same time tomorrow.

So naturally I forgot to check the numbers a day later.
I checked them now though 3 days later and Chicago is currently a top 10 MJ streamed track at nr 9. In 3 days it added about 1 020 000 stream to its total. Which means about 300 000 a day which seems in line with the earlier twitter post by @Nite Line

Heaven can wait dropped out of the top 10 and added about 260 000 streams in 3 days. It seems its resurgence is over. It will break the 20 million barrier in the next 3 days which is also a nice milestone.

Well, this is a nice way to start the day!

Michael’s Chicago is now his 6th most streamed track per day. Breaking the top 5 should be hard as I haven’t seen a change here since halloween (thriller): billie jean, beat it, smooth criminal, don’t stop till you get enough, rock with you.

Either way it is doing better than heaven can wait in its peak

Just saw on Twitter that Michael now has 31 million monthly listeners on Spotify and that is roughly 5 million more than this time last year. Pretty awesome

yeah but I did listen a lot to MJ this month so the figure is a bit inflated

Unless I misunderstand this statistic, doesn't it mean individual monthly listeners? In which case even the most obsessed of us can only make so much of a difference!

Man, Chicago really HAS blown up!

Yes completely true. My own inflated number several dozens of songs only counts as one in this list.
I wish would be more statistics available!
For example how much streams each song has per day or how many people have loved a certain track etc
