Media caption Jackson Five return to number one

The Jackson 5 are at number one in the UK singles chart, after their 1970 hit single ABC was sampled by a British DJ.

Sigala's song Easy Love welds Michael Jackson's vocals to a summery house beat. It has beaten the original song's chart peak of number eight.

The track even has the seal of approval from Tito Jackson, who said he "loved the track", according to Sigala.

A little bit of Spotify statistics. Last month Spotify introduced a new feature which shows the monthly listens for each artist. Michael had 8,013,587 listens in October and with that he is #60 . Which is very, very good because those ahead of him are current artists with current hits. But even some current artists are behind him. For example Justin Timberlake had 7,302,758 listens and is #63 .

Just to put the numbers in perspective:
#1 currently is The Weeknd with 24,588,126 listens. He has several current hits on the charts these days. Some other current artists:

Drake - 20,865,144 (#2)
Justin Bieber - 20,728,772 (#3)
Adele - 15,862,767
Rihanna - 14,919,609
Kanye West - 13,241,534
Coldplay - 10,767,741
Beyoncé - 10,733,430
Eminem - 10,401,104
Jay Z - 8,770,563
Bruno Mars - 8,206,712
Lady Gaga - 4,925,197


Note: Taylor Swift is not on Spotify.


If we compare MJ to some of his peers - other veteran artists -, we get even more perspective for what that 8 million number means. And these are some of the most popular ones.

Queen - 6,388,383
Paul McCartney - 5,719,163 (it has to be noted that his number is massively boosted by his recent collaboration with Rihanna and Kanye)
Marvin Gaye - 5,223,603
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - 5,513,330
The Notorious B.I.G. - 4,864,611

This is from the vid Bubs posted in the MJ-One-thread:

Jamie King, writer/director of the "Michael Jackson One" Cirque Du Soleil show and former MJ backup dancer, talks to the WSJ's Lee Hawkins about the challenge of doing a show that lives up to Jackson's high standards and his working relationship with John Branca, chairman of The Michael Jackson Co. and co-executor of Jackson's estate. According to the estate, Jackson has sold more than 50 million records since his death, and 70 percent of his sales come from outside the United States. King also discusses "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour," which he also wrote and directed.

That video with info was published on 22 Oct 2013, so I suppose if MJ sold 50 mil in little over 4 years, the sales should be 60 mil or more by now:clapping:
