Well, well, well! It looks like this time, Dan Reed, his two bad actors, and his mockumentary didn’t have any impact on Michael Jackson’s charts. Back in 2019, we saw some drops, but fast forward to 2025—Michael remains strong and steady!
Let’s go to the UK first as this is where Reed wanted to impact the most.
“The Essential Michael Jackson” is at #19 in the Top 100 Albums and gains 4 spots in the Top 100 Streaming Albums to be at #12.
In Ireland, “The Essential Michael Jackson” also goes up in the Top 100 Albums to be at #30
“Thriller” gains 11 spots in the German Top 100 Albums to be at #80, 3 spots in the Dutch Top 100 Albums to be at #66 and the album also re-entered the Polish Top 50 Vinyls at #46.
“Thriller” is also up in the Belgium Wallony Top 200 Albums Sales to be at #166 and #148 in the Belgium Flanders Top 200 Album Sales.
In Hungary, “BAD” re-enter the top 40 Physical Albums at #36. In Greece, “Off The Wall” is at #23 in the Top 100 Albums Sales
In the US, “The Essential Michael Jackson” is at #107 (gaining 60 places) in the Billboard 200 Albums and re-enter the Billboard 50 Catalogue Albums at #41. “Thriller” is at #122 in the Billboard 200 Albums, #27 in the Billboard 50 Album Sales and #15 in the Billboard 25 Vinyls. “Billie Jean” however loses a dozen of spots in the Billboard Global 200 Tracks to be at #187 and same for the Billboard Global 200 Tracks Excluding the US where the song is at #179.
