Michael Jackson, the undisputed King of Pop, has once again solidified his status as a musical legend whose influence transcends generations. Despite his untimely passing, Jackson's iconic hit "Thriller" has made its way back into the Top 10 of the Billboard charts, cementing a new record for the late, great artist.
Released in 1982, "Thriller" has become a staple Halloween anthem and has been revived in popularity over the years. With 14 million streams and a radio audience of 9.3 million, the song's re-entry into the Top 10 has made Jackson the first artist to achieve a top 10 hit across six decades. This remarkable accomplishment not only showcases Jackson's enduring popularity, but also highlights the impact of music streaming in the current era.
Throughout his career, Jackson has continued to dominate the music industry, defying trends and staying true to his own unique sound. He has consistently delivered chart-topping hits in every decade, and his latest entry into the Top 10 proves that his artistry still resonates with audiences today.
With the upcoming release of the highly anticipated biopic "Michael" next April, the resurgence of "Thriller" may also be attributed to renewed interest in the King of Pop's life and legacy. The recently released teaser trailer for the film offers a glimpse into Jackson's professional achievements and personal journey, further solidifying his impact on the world of music.
Having earned 30 Top 10 hits and 13 #1 singles throughout his 40-year career, Jackson remains a chart-topping force even after his passing. He currently shares the Top 5 spot with Drake for the most #1 singles, with Drake's inclusion of Jackson's posthumous vocals in his 2018 hit "Don't Matter To Me" contributing to Jackson's continued success on the charts.
As fans continue to sing along to the iconic "Thriller" and celebrate the legacy of Michael Jackson, they can also look forward to the upcoming biopic and relive the magic of the King of Pop's music on the big screen. With his latest Billboard record, Jackson has once again proven that his musical legacy will continue to withstand the test of time.
