As predicted, “Smooth Criminal” has entered the Billion Club with over a billion views on YouTube, shortly after “Thriller” which entered the club last September.
Making the 5th short film from the King of Pop to enter the very selective club!
“Billie Jean” was the first short film to enter the Billion club in 2021 followed by “They Don’t Care About Us” in April 2023 and “Beat It” in November 2023.
Michael Jackson is now the 1st artist to have 5 short films released in the 20th century to surpass 1 billion views each! Another ground breaking moment for the King of Pop!
It just goes to show that what Michael created will transcend time and generations. He built his own legacy through his music, short films, and dance. No matter what the Estate or fans do, his work remains his true legacy.
The next Michael Jackson short film set to join the famous club is ‘Remember The Time,’ but it still needs nearly half a billion more views to achieve that milestone. It might take few years and fan campaigns to get there!
