Elvis also gets a lot of Christmas play and wedding play. I was quite surprised about him too, though, tbh.
I guess the biopic which was a boxoffice hit elevated his streams too.Elvis also gets a lot of Christmas play and wedding play. I was quite surprised about him too, though, tbh.
OMG! That is extremely exciting! Oh I hope it is correctAccording to Hits (who are usually reliable at prediction billboard charts), Thriller (album) is expected to hit #18 on next week's billboard 200. I believe that would be Thriller's highest position since probably 1984.

Yeah but this is just for Thriller, not Thriller 40. Which means there's really no reason it should be performing so well hahaHmm thriller 25 did better but I remembered a real hype for it. It charted top 10 literally all over the world, even hitting nr 1 in several countries. I don’t think it was eligible to enter the billboard top 200 back then but it sold enough to hit nr 2 the first week of its release.
T40 at nr 18 would make it perform only marginally better than Bad 25 (nr 23)

Because it was a re issue, and reissues didn’t count as new releases back then afaik.Incoming! Gonzo question alert!
Sorta losing the plot on this convo but can't resist asking for a reminder - why would T25 not have been eligible back then? I'm sure I'm supposed to know this but all this chart data is mashing my brain to pieces, lol.
Was happy to see T25 peaked at No.3 in the UK.
UK Official Charts - Chart run for T25 (19 weeks / 23.02.2008 - 28.06.2008)
Top 10 - 07 weeks / Top 20 - 13 / Top 40 - 16 / Top 75 - 25 / Top 100 - 27)
19 weeks on the chart in 2008 plus 8 more in 2009.
Sorry! Brain having a 'Chart Watch' moment. As you were!

Also is this higher than how Thriller charted in 2009?
It was another chart-system back in 2009. Michaels albums counted only as catalog-albums and not BB 200-charts. He had for sure occupied place 1-10. after his death. Also Thriller 25 could also only chart after relase on the catalog-albums. This for example is the Catalog-album chart from the week end of july 2009
Billboard changed the sytem right to time where Beatels-catalog went on spotify, so that their first big streaming-increase could be counted for BB 200. The timing was sure not a coincidence.

That's not true, Billboard 200 included the catalog albums at the end of 2009, it is rumored that it was due to the boom in catalog album sales after MJ's death and the remastering of The Beatles albums, but neither benefited fully as MJ died in June and The Beatles reissued their catalog in September.Billboard changed the sytem right to time where Beatels-catalog went on spotify, so that their first big streaming-increase could be counted for BB 200.

It would've charted higher if it wasn't for Taylor's album. She has numerous songs in top 20.Despite the Thriller challenge, Thriller charts lower than last year. Disappointing but still amazing to see a 40 year old song chart.
Lol I really don’t like Taylor.It would've charted higher if it wasn't for Taylor's album. She has numerous songs in top 20.
Neither do I, but it is what it is. I think she's quite overrated.Lol I really don’t like Taylor.
Thriller Christmas remix feat Mariah Carey when?We can't complain it is a good success. Halloween music will never be as big as Christmas music, I think this is about the maximum result possible.
