teah 💕

Michael Jackson scores the oldest song in history to reach #1 on the Billboard Global 200 singles chart. "Billie Jean" was released as part of 'Thriller' in 1982, over 43 years ago.

I remember reading a story about how Michael heard one of his songs being remixed in public in 2008 and said “wow, I didn’t know that they still played my music.” Now here we are years later and his music is STILL everywhere. He dominated the sales era, and now he’s dominating the streaming era too. His art, his legacy…it’s forever.

#MichaelJackson is the only person to rule these 3 charts at the same time: No.1 Box Office Movie - #Michaelmovie No.1 Song Spotify - #BillieJean No.1 Book (Rock Band biography, Rich and Famous Biography) on Amazon - #Moonwalk MJ is the GOAT.

Dear Diary.. I’m officially done mourning the life I thought I would have by now . God’s timing, God’s willing, God’s way.

A woman mailed Michael Jackson a gun, her photo, and a letter telling him to kill himself at a specific time. The song he wrote about her is sitting at #1 on Spotify right now, 43 years later. It started in 1981. She began sending Michael letters claiming he was the father of one of her twins. He had never met her, so he ignored the whole thing. The letters kept coming anyway. Then one day, a package showed up. Inside was her photograph, a gun, and a note instructing him to kill himself at a particular date and time. She planned to kill “their” baby afterward, so they could be together in the next life. The Jacksons later found out she had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. That is where the line “the kid is not my son” came from. The bass line you hear in the first eight seconds is one of the most famous in pop history. They almost didn’t find it. The bassist Quincy hired, a guy named Louis Johnson, walked into the studio carrying every bass guitar he owned. Michael made him play the same line on each one until they settled on a Yamaha. Then they layered a synthesizer playing the exact same notes on top, which is why the bass has that thick, almost glowing sound. The drum sound took even more obsession. Quincy Jones told his engineer Bruce Swedien he wanted a sound so distinct you’d know the song from the first three drum hits. So Bruce actually built a wooden platform for the entire drum kit. He put a flat piece of wood between the snare drum and the hi-hat cymbal to keep them from interfering with each other. He also built a custom cover for the kick drum, with a small slot for the microphone. Michael had programmed the beat on a drum machine when he wrote the demo at home. When it came time to record the album, drummer Ndugu Chancler walked in and played the same pattern on a real kit. He nailed it in three takes. Then came the vocal. Michael sang the entire main vocal in one continuous take. For the extra harmonies and adlibs on top, Quincy made him sing through a six-foot cardboard tube rigged up in the booth. Michael was also getting vocal training every single morning while they were making the album. The song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983 and stayed there for seven weeks. Yesterday it hit #1 on Spotify Global with 6.02 million streams in a single day, the highest the song has ever climbed on the platform.

MICHAEL has officially crossed the $700M mark at the global box office. The King of Pop biopic has also retaken its position as the #1 movie in the world this weekend.

One man is currently ruling both the movie box office and the music charts.. has that happened before?

And when we get Jaafar hitting this move😌

The 'Black or White' music video attracted 500 million viewers from 27 countries on the night it debuted in 1991. A Guinness World Record for a music video that remains unbroken to this day! All of this without any social media. 👑

This is so unfair on his kids I’m so angry. They have to fight the industry to get any of their daddy’s stuff but a man that hates their father, gets to throw some money and chase clout off his name.

C'est son prime absolu, jamais aucun autre humain n'a atteint un tel niveau de flow

My entire feed is Michael Jackson and I’m not even complaining 😭

this man’s goal was to create the highest selling album of all time & he exceeded his own expectations. songs from that album are hitting #1 on charts over 40 years after its release & almost 20 years after his DEATH. he’s truly 1 of 1. the greatest of all time.

minha mãe saiu do cinema dizendo que após assistir o filme do michael saiu com uma reflexão. a reflexão de que muitas coisas ruins aconteceram com o michael mas ele não se corrompia. ele não devolvia o mal com o mal. as pessoas faziam ruindade com ele e ele continuava bom e sã, e era exatamente isso, né?

One thing about God? He will pull you out of a situation you created with your own decisions… and still hold you like you never disappointed Him. I don’t understand that kind of love 😭😭😭

this made me yell cause it’s so true 🤣😭

can you imagine being on x factor back in the day and going to dublin with louis walsh instead of the other judges houses in malibu and barbados I’d actually kill myself

And in your 20’s, you will meet a man named Jesus asking you to accept and trust Him, it’s best you do that.
