Agree, but why does it need to be said in size 200 font? lolMJJC isn't what it used to be. Lately, some immature individuals have been causing unnecessary arguments and derailing conversations with off-topic discussions that have nothing to do with the thread.
Any band who get that much media attention would have scored a hit that way. Truth is I already forgot that song like most other people probably. Getting a top 10 hit is sometimes overrated. In this case of the Beatles it certainly was. And in case of MJ getting one with Drake it is too.
It's size 22
Do that in dm's or in the chat. Or maybe... visit other forums?
It could be argued that songs like Chicago or Heaven Can Wait getting some sort of afterlife through Tiktok are more real "hits" than getting a fluke No. 1 for one week and being forgotten immeditely like Now and Then was.
Doesn't this site have a ignore/block button? Problem solved.
Nobody is forcing you to read anybody's posts, you volunteer to read them. I don't block, but when i see certain names I don't even bother to read what they post. Also I'm pretty sure that anywhere on the internet there are trolls or cynics. Places like Lipstick Alley & Prince.org is full of them. Go read the comments on almost any Youtube video or Twitter/X & Instagram. A lot of news/magazine sites block comments until they are approved or remove them.Chicago just keeps hanging in there.
That's true but I felt that way about the Beatles in general. That song got me to listen to them though and now I'm a real fan. So that sort of publicity is still enough, still a valid success for MJ or any other artist, hardcore elitist not withstanding.
Visit other forums to talk about Michael Jackson? Other than the Michael Jackson forum?
So is Heaven Can Wait, it is top 20 every week.
Cool.
I don't pretend to understand any of it, I just post stuff as FYI.
Not sure, interesting question or dilemma or whatever.
Woah you’re hugeIt's size 22
I’m ready though and that is what’s most important
What are the other releases?
Simply the best - John Branca biopic.
Yeah, this is true. It’s also a good indicator as to how strong MJ performs. Look at these other guys getting to near MJ levels with a huge movie boost. MJ just sits there anyway.
It's the perfect time to release a follow up to Xscape. They need to strike while the iron is hot.
I think the influence of the biopic on Elvis streams and Queen's streams are worlds apart. While Elvis certainly had a bit of an uptick, I think it has long since evaporated. I really think every Christmas has more influence on his streams than the biopic did.
ooh, now that is interesting!
I love John Logan interviews. He's so interesting and articulate. I hope he does some interviews once the film is out, I hope it isn't just the actors.
Chicago was mega viral on TikTok throughout 2023. The app skews young, and hearing MJ's voice over trap production had its novelty.
I think MJs voice is surprisingly adept with the modern sounds. It's certainly no fault of his if he doesn't. He embraced hip hop sensibilities.
