Chartmasters have used a very useful indicator, available to everyone and incredibly enlightening for looking at global reach, is the number of translations on Wikipedia.
So the more an artist will have a Wikipedia page translated, the more global he/she/them get!
And here we are! Michael Jackson is at #1 with 260 languages on Wikipedia.
The King of Pop Michael Jackson tops Julius Caesar (210), Aristotle (215), William Shakespeare (218), Nelson Mandela (220), Albert Einstein (224), Isaac Newton (227), Leonardo da Vinci (234), Adolf Hitler (237), Donald Trump (238), Barack Obama (246) and Ronald Reagan (251).
