I started writing on Saturdays on MJVibe because UK charts update on Fridays but I’ve never actually started my articles with UK charts so here it is.
Number Ones is charting on both Official Albums Chart Top 100 at #58 & Official Albums Streaming Chart Top 100 at #32 & it has now spent 470 weeks on the albums chart… thats over 9 years 🤯
I love how Number Ones is the leading album worldwide any time of the year but in the US they just can’t get enough of Thriller.
Here’s some Billboard updates:
US Vinyl Albums:
Thriller – #14
Top Catalogue Albums:
Thriller – #32
Top Album Sales:
Thriller – #53
Billboard 200:
Thriller – #112
I know thats nothing compared to last weeks but at least we’re still on charts!
Let’s move onto iTunes.
This has to be my favourite part because you never know what you’re about to get.
Last week Fall Again was one of the Top 10 best selling MJ songs.

I don’t really have many updates from Spotify other than Michael still having over 27 million monthly listeners on the platform & Xscpae (aka my favourite posthumous album) surpassing 500 million streams. Should’ve done it in 2014 in my opinion 🤷🏻♂️
I will have more updates from Spotify next month when The Jackson 5 Christmas songs comeback on charts 🎅🏼.
I can finally confirm that Billie Jean is now the most popular daily watched Michael Jackson short film on YouTube for the first time this year.
#1 Billie Jean – 651,352
#2 Smooth Criminal – 573,061
#3 They Don’t Care About Us – 442,440
#4 Beat It – 434,673
Oh and one more thing..
Yesterday, Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough was certified Platinum in the UK by BPI Awards. Which means single has sold over 600,000 copies.
That’s all I have for today. Thanks for reading & as usual, I’ll be back next Saturday.
