Roseblud Kisses 685 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 So does that make it the most streamed 80s song? Because from the 70s it is ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen, from the 90s it’s ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis and from the 2000s it is ‘Mr Brightside’ by The Killers. It’s interesting that it took the 80s the longest to reach one billion, even though I feel that it is almost everyone’s favourite decade for music overall.

PartySick 134,076 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's about time MJ's kinda seen a bump in popularity lately for some reason. He moved from the 90th most streamed to the 66th (now with 31 million monthly listeners), Dangerous reentered the album charts for the first time since 2009, and now Billie Jean crossed this milestone. I'm here for it A new MJ show is about to hit Broadway too The way Moonwalkers are being lowkey fed. Now all we need is Dangerous 30 with late 80s/early 90s demos and outtakes along with a proper release of the Dangerous Tour rehearsal videos and we'll be set 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when a slap bass is used and the intro is extended These MJ fan channels should be paying me for how often I share their stuff I remember someone he worked with said he always wanted to change the live routine for Billie Jean but felt he couldn't because the MTV performance kinda cemented certain things about it. It was so iconic that it trapped him into doing the same routine for nearly 30 years 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
