This is comparing apples and oranges. 

The Hot 100 chart methodology has completely changed from Michael's time to Kanye's. During Michael's hit years, it was a requirement to have a physical retail single for sale in record shops for a song to be eligible on the Hot 100. 

Today, any song (including album tracks) are eligible. So when an album drops, tons of non-singles chart. If the charts worked this way during Michael's eras, he would be light years beyond Kanye in Top 40 hits. 

 

Very excellent point!

Unworthy. Michael is the king, period. Kanye is just unbearable. With the way things have changed (aka is last album F.L.O.P going #1 just from streaming, this really means nothing)

It doesn't count when more than half of them are collabos.

It's like saying GLEEcast is the best group of all time just because it got the most BBHOT100 hits.

 

They are the best group though

Thats okay that's it's the future but his little streaming points dont mean anything next to what Michael accomplished.

Imagine if Michael Jackson featured on tracks?

The amount of Top 40 hits he would have:

This so much + you can't compare today's billboard chart and back then when Michael did his thing..
