MJ Charts Weekly on January 04, 2025

We might not have closed 2024 with a bang when it comes to Michael Jackson’s music on the charts, but 2025 is shaping up to be a game-changer!

With the highly anticipated biopic set to release this October, history suggests we’re in for something big. Just look at the chart resurgences sparked by biopics for artists like Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, and Robbie Williams—each saw their music soar globally after their films debuted.

The Estate and Lionsgate have been hyping this project as the biggest biopic ever, so it’s safe to expect a massive impact on Michael’s chart performance worldwide. While we’ll have to wait until the end of the year to see the full effect, for now, here’s a look at MJ’s chart standings for the first week of 2025!

Let’s start with the UK! “The Essential Michael Jackson” gained 6 places in both Top 100 Albums where it currently sits at #17 and Top 100 Streaming Albums where it sits at #9. “Moonwalker” is at #19 and “Bad: Live At Wembley 1988” at #29 in the Top 50 Music DVDs.
