New kworb RECORD peak of 7820 points for MJ yesterday, for those interested 😉

MJ breaking records every day 💪

And remember, no other Legacy act/artist has come anywhere close to these number - dead or alive - biopic or no biopic

Not Queen
Not ABBA
Not Elvis
Not Whitney (love her)
Etc

Not even close to these numbers.

THAT’s the magnitude of what we’re seeing here. This will unlikely be matched by any other artist, anytime soon, if ever.

The old people can try and downplay this but, these are the metrics EVERY artist is judged by daily/weekly/monthly and

MJ IS #2 inTHE WORLD day after day.

Read it and weep, doubters/haters 💪😂

My last word on trying to justify myself with this (honest 😉😂)

Two things;

1. PLEASE do not take my word for how amazing MJ is doing at the moment.

Go do your own research.
Look at kworb
Look at iTunes Charts
Look at Spotify charts
etc, etc, etc.

It’s all out there 💪

But, the most important thing:
2. PLEASE, PLEASE, do not listen to people like RICHARD.

He’s admitted not understanding modern metrics used to calculate success. He’s admitted he’s highly sceptical - DESPITE having no understanding.

There are still people living, educated people, who don’t understand how we can live on a spinning globe and not fall off.
They believe the earth, therefore, must be flat!

Not having a proper understanding of something does not make that something wrong.

End.
 
Hi beltrano

Am I right in estimating that;

Prior to MICHAEL film release MJ’s streams (top 20 songs ish?) were around 10-14 million per day

And, since the release, we are talking, some days. over 40 million!?

Or have I calculated that wrong?
 
I m not convinced neither than this Spotify thing really means something. Sure, the movie generates some interest. But at the end of the day, these Are not people paying some bucks to have a record.

Just one instance : Heaven Can Wait became a hit on streaming services since like 3/4 years? Does that made Invincible visible on the charts ? No.
TDCAU was always huge on Spotify and YT. Does that make people buying History ? Of course not.

It s like that I-tunes charts. I think It s completely obsolete by now. What does It mean that Thriller is #2, History #37, etc. In Zimbabwe, but that BOTDF is #274 ? How does It impact any charts? Is there some people really buying these albums / tracks on I-tunes ?
Even in big markets such as in France, UK, etc. How conciliate the often huge discrepancy between those I tunes charts with other streaming services, and of course with "real" official charts?

Spotify is a main thing for charts today. Heaven can wait has gained streams but not big enough to have impact on the charts, it was never in in top of MJ most streamed songs. TDCUA is only the last few weeks strong on Spotify. Thriller (song) was in the Top in UK and US-Charts and other markets in time of Halloween because of high streaming on Spotify and people buying the song on -i-Tunes.

your question: What does It mean that Thriller is #2, History #37, etc. In Zimbabwe, but that BOTDF is #274 ? How does It impact any charts? Is there some people really buying these albums / tracks on I-tunes ?
It does mean people are buying this songs or albums in digital

Michael has permant charting albums like Thriller or Number Ones, even Bad for a long time now because of Spotify, i-tunes and physical sales but the numbers now are insane, he never had songs on the Top Ten in the Spotify charts before the biopic and of course the songs like Billie Jean will charting in offical music-charts.

Official UK CHARTS

The box office success of the new Michael Jackson biopic Michael sweeps five of his albums into the upper echelons of the album chart and also reignites three of his most iconic hits, namely Billie Jean (93-13, 22,765 sales), Beat It (No.22, 17,525 sales), and Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough (No.23, 15,501 sales) – No.1 in 1983, No.3 in 1983 and No.3 in 1979, respectively. That’s an 878-week best for both Billie Jean and Beat It, which were last higher immediately after his death in 2009. Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough only reached No.48 then, and is at its highest placing for 1,053 weeks – just over 20 years – since March 2006, when it reached No.17 as the first of 19 of his hits to re-chart in consecutive weeks after being made available in new CD editions.

Topping the box office chart, Michael Jackson biopic Michael has reignited massive interest in the late ‘king of pop’, who died nearly 17 years ago. The official soundtrack set, Michael: Songs From The Motion Picture leads the way, debuting at No.4 (13,244 sales). 2003 compilation Number Ones re-enters at No.5 (9,267 sales), while 1982’s Thriller surges 65-8 (7,251 sales), and 1987’s Bad rockets 52-13 (6,302 sales).

All former No.1s, Thriller and Number Ones are both at their highest chart positions since just after Jackson’s death in 2009, while Bad was last higher in 2012, immediately after the release of a 25th anniversary edition.
