The Michael Jackson Chart Watch

Why WON'T THEY HELP US PROMOTE THRILLER? WHY WON'T THEY LOWER THE PRICE ON ITUNES? WHY DOES THE ESTATE DO NOTHING TO HELP US?
Why should they? He is Nr 1 in these countries. And if they do not change the price, the song is better comparable. So they know about Michael's popularity year by year in a simple way.
 
Why WON'T THEY HELP US PROMOTE THRILLER? WHY WON'T THEY LOWER THE PRICE ON ITUNES?
I don't think there's any reason why itunes should lower the price, tbh. Plus it would dilute the integrity of the result, surely? itunes is a business and they want to make money. They don't care which song is at No.1 as long as people are spending money. Which is fair enough, imo.

WHY DOES THE ESTATE DO NOTHING TO HELP US?
I'm not really on board with this but I understand the frustration. The estate (or whoever runs the social media for MJE) posted a feeble tweet yesterday reminding people that Thriller (the video) got included in the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, bc they are fairly crap (imo!) they got the date wrong. It didn't get inducted in 2009, it was 2007. So the feeble effort they put in wasn't even accurate.

I did see a couple of tweets on X mildly chastising the estate for not helping with pushing Thriller during Halloween. They must have been deleted bc I can't find them now.

"BREAKING! Michael Jackson knocked off #LadyGaga and #BrunoMars as "Thriller " steals the #1 spot on "ITunes Top Selling Songs for Friday November 1, 2024."

GbUHvR9WoAAF0eQ
 
Thriller is now #1 in China, UK, Ireland and Canada. The only major country left is the US
"Jackson’s smash is performing well on the current Billboard charts, and it could climb when the company refreshes its rankings again in a few days, as those numbers will reflect current streams and sales. The tune sold most intensely as millions of Americans added it to their party playlists or purchased it again, simply to get into the mood.


“Thriller” still sits at No. 1 on iTunes’ ranking of the top-selling songs in the U.S., as of early Friday morning (November 1). While Halloween is through, it seems the spirit still lingers–at least for a little while longer."


 
spotify's global top-songs:

biggest day ever for thriller !!

album version : #13, 4,369,652
single version : #57, 2,349,561

somebody's watching me: #17, 4,027,770
Billie Jean #115, 1,739,075.

So dumb. Thriller has 6.7 million streams. But divided between 2 versions.
Where would it be if the 6,7 million was for one version only?

If I'm the estate that's one of the things I would clean up. If there's no SIGNIFICANT difference between versions, throw it off streaming.
F*ck an edit ;)!

Same with Black Or White, it would be Dangerous' most successful track! Yet it's bubbling under, with 2 versions each with 250 million streams. Would there be just one, it'd be in the Top10 of his songs - where it should rightfully be!
