The King of Pop places a record 25 songs on the 75-position Hot Digital Songs chart including “Thriller” (No. 2, 167,000), “Man in the Mirror” (No. 3, 165,000), “Billie Jean” (No. 4, 158,000), “The Way You Make Me Feel” (No. 6, 136,000), “Beat It” (No. 7, 134,000), and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” (No. 8, 125,000).

I don’t understand how why some people throw so much shade at Michael. He’s the undisputed king.. I mean, he just died and people are trying to discredit him, like he wasn’t breaking records all while he was living
