Over the week-end, Smooth Radio, a UK Radio station, revealed the All Time Top 500 songs 2020 as voted for by listeners.
At the dawn of a ‘certain movie’, the Radio Station was quick to stop playing Michael’s music, appeasing what they thought was demand from its listeners. However, the All Time Top 500 proved otherwise as 20 Michael Jackson songs appeared in the Top 500 with two songs in the Top 10. This marks a new peak for Michael since 2017, where his highest ranking then was Man in The Mirror at N#17.
This year’s list also included six new entries for Michael, demonstrating that demand to hear a more diverse range of Michael’s music on the radio is ever increasing.
With 20 entries, Michael became the number one artist with the most solo entries. George Michael topped the list with 21 entries, however five inclusions were from his time with Wham!
Smooth Radio currently pulls in an average of four million listeners a week.
“Billie Jean” at N#7 and “Man in The Mirror” at N#5 ensured Michael was one of only two artists (George Michael being the other) to achieve this result.
Here are all the Michael Jackson songs voted by the public in the All Time Top 500:
It is clear that the general public want to listen to Michael Jackson and we are hoping to hear more of his songs on Smooth Radio within the next couple of days!
