Celloo Deng 56,212 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) MJ's music is seeing huge rises as a result of the 'Michael' biopic, way more than I ever could have anticipated! Let's take a look at some highlights. As of 1st May, Michael is #1 on the global digital artist ranking. This is pretty huge. He just overtook Justin Bieber who saw big increases following his Coachella performances. Monthly listeners are rising on Spotify, currently sitting at #15 with 1M+ daily listeners, so this should rise even further. Meanwhile on the Spotify daily songs chart, Billie Jean is at #4, Beat It #7, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough #28, Smooth Criminal #43 and Human Nature #52. On the UK official chart, Billie Jean is at #13, Beat It #22 and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough #23. On the albums chart, Michael soundtrack #4, Number Ones #5, Thriller #8, Bad #13 and The Essentials #14. Spoiler My laptop is not letting me onto the Billboard chart website for some reason so somebody feel free to comment those stats, or any others The film also smashed the box office by breaking the record for a biopic opening weekend with $200M+ global. We love to see it Edited May 1 by Celloo Deng she/her 🖤 Gaga, Billie, MJ 1 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah 27,404 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 It's so crazy! I was watching a sales video of MJs Singles the other day and seeing him flourish in every kind of era from physical to digital to streams, was so wild to see. Truly in awe of how much his music connects people. When I first was discovering his discography on my own I was shocked at how I almost knew every song. The King of Pop indeed. ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fyp is nothing but MJ memes right now with the occasional Melanie Martinez pull. Seeing a whole new generation of Hee Hees Brings a tear to my eye All the yunguns making their jokes and then saying "wait but this song actually does slap though, lemme stream his music non-stop" Just now, Celloo Deng said: I never expected the film would have such a positive impact! Must have unleashed a new young legion of fans, ones that aren’t marred by the 00s tabloids Yeah, my coworker (older woman in her 70s) was chatting with me about him and she had assumed his fanbase was aged and I, being 30, was on the younger end of it. Like, noooo mama, that's not even close to the case It probably helps that when these kids see throwback MJ videos or hear his music they can easily pick up on how his influence lives in their favorite artists. His work remains modern 'cause he created the modern pop industry Whimsical bitch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
