MJ Chart Data Week of September 5, 2020

I was just checking YouTube view numbers to write this article and found the date where all Michaels short films had the highest 24-hour view count and it was the day they announced LN in 2019. All popular short films had over a million views in a day and Billie Jean almost hit 2 million so my point here is that we won from day one. I looked up and all major news articles wrote that Michael Jackson sales went up lol so much for cancelling.

I don’t know why I do these intros before I get into writing about actual charts but let me have it lol

Most viewed shot films in past 24 hours:

Smooth Criminal – 699,922
Billie Jean – 608,939
Beat It – 386,659
They Don’t Care About Us – 372,986
Thriller – 290,705

Total – 8,864,775,842 billion views.
