Is it MJs 14th number hit now?
Don't think so. The aim of the challenge this year was to get Thriller to No.1 on the billboard chart so as to get past Drake. That didn't happen. No.1 on itunes is great but I don't think it counts. I did just post an article somewhere saying Thriller might end up with a better billboard position once the stats are refreshed but I'm still not expecting it to get to No.1. But I would love to be wrong about that! :)

Here it is.

"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."

"On Nov. 1 (which does not count for the past week's chart), Michael Jackson's Thriller is beating every contemporary, living artist on Apple Music in the United States."

Tyler the Creator literally dropped Monday at 6 am. Music doesn't even drop those days, it waits until Friday.

To still be demolished on the charts by Michael Jackson is insane.
 
@andjustice4some
"Remember this is the Billboard 200 which is US albums."

@travis_demaria
"BREAKING: Michael Jackson’s Thriller album will surge to #42 (+29) on the Billboard 200. Total sales this past week were 18,650."
Q - Where did you find it?
"Source: HitsDailyDouble . Note: it’s extremely close to a few others so official Billboard placing will range anywhere from 38-43."

Also, side point, disappointing that Sticky is the song getting the most plays when Darling, I, and Take Your Mask Off, and Like Him are the best songs from the record easy. Instant Classics.

Spotify monthly listeners : 39

new peak.

This is really great. Queens peak after biopic was 30.

I ask again. Does anyone know if MJ ever was in front of Queen pre their biopic or is it now the first time ever MJ surpassed Queen in regard monthly listeners?

I don't think it would be anywhere near number 1 sadly, but I would love it to be top 10, but even that would be extremely tough. I am expecting a top 20 position.

Agreed. It's probably a stretch too far. Lady Gaga is doing fine bc she's got lots of stuff to support her current batch of songs. The film, the new album, a new video, the Bruno Mars thing. Michael doesn't have any of that.

but I would love it to be top 10, but even that would be extremely tough. I am expecting a top 20 position.
Iirc, it went to No.19 in 2022 but I can't remember where it got to last year. For this year, I'd expect low Top 20, at best.

I found this convo earlier today. Posting the text bc my X re-posts aren't showing up atm (although the links do work just fine):

@andjustice4some
"Preliminary predictions are pointing to Thriller at #25 on the BBH100."

@andjustice4some
"But they are preliminary. Final predictions will be Sunday I think."

@travis_demaria
"Billboard will be releasing official numbers on Monday right ?"

@andjustice4some
"Monday top ten, Tuesday the entire 100."
