The Michael Jackson Chart Watch

It was No.19 in 2021, No.26 in 2022 and No. 21 in 2023. Can it crack the top 20 in 2024?
What's a little unfortunate this year is that November 1st falls on Friday with also strong streams for Thriller and that's the new chart week allready.

I wasn't going to bother posting this convo but since you brought it up ...

From yesterday:

@travis_demaria
"Funny thing is the chart ended tonight instead of last night we would be looking at something closer to #9-10"

@andjustice4some
"Yes, but very few really understand the charts."

@outropyt
"that’s so good i was thinking as to what would better for next yr: to run the challenge for 2 weeks or just the week of halloween as that day falls on a friday"

@andjustice4some
Last year we ran for 2 weeks.

@outropyt
"tho this year’s challenge is over, i def think that we should still keep an eye on how thriller’s doing on the charts up until the 6th to see how much the gp cares abt the song even if halloween’s over and use that to come up w a plan for next yr"

@andjustice4some
"The last 2 years, Thriller had done very well on Nov. 1, but dropped on 11/2. If we had had 11/1 in the chart week, I think we would have hit top ten."

"Michael Jackson’s ‘Xscape’ album has now surpassed 1.1 BILLION streams on Spotify !"

Thriller charted at 20th, it would have been top 5 however it didn't have enough Radio Airplay.

Gbbn0VAaoAAZqd1
Interesting breakdown of the stats. @filmandmusic - look what ihatethemedia found!

Afaik, the official Billboard HH100 stats come out on Tuesday (Top Ten stats on Monday). I'm gonna wait for those. But if it really did get to No.20 that's amazing. Up against so many contemporary artists who are all really active that's a fabulous result, imo.

MJ has got to be number 1 of all the older artists right?

Could you imagine if this was the 80s and streaming was a thing 😂 Michael would have been number 1 for decades
 
With the exception of Rihanna everyone on this list is active with new music. I'm understanding Michael's Spotify stats a bit better now.

Now the Christmas season is almost starting again and all the Christmas songs and artists who have a Christmas song in their portfolio are coming up a few weeks. I think it is the weakest streaming-time for Michael. Well, at least with the Jackson 5, Michael is also part of it.

You're right. I've seen people already starting to push the Jackson 5 Christmas album.

Then there's this! ⬇️ It all feels a bit too soon, lol.

@Quote31490249

"Now that ThrillerChallenge is over, let’s stream as much as possible this so it gets eligible for diamond. Currently MJ has 4 diamond eligible albums, this would be 5"

"Garth Brooks - 9The Beatles - 6He'd be 3rd behind The Beatles, however MJ would be the only act with 5 diamond singles and 5 diamond albums"
