Arguably the greatest entertainer of all time, Michael Jackson is still making waves even in death, as his song “Billie Jean” just hit #1 on the Global Spotify chart.
Driven heavily by the massive buzz and release of his highly anticipated 2026 biopic, Michael, the track pulled in over 6 million streams in a single day.
This milestone marks two incredible historical records. Originally released in 1983, Billie Jean is now officially the oldest track to ever top the Global Spotify chart.
The surge has also pushed Michael Jackson to the #1 spot on the global digital artist rankings across multiple platforms, outperforming active modern heavyweights like Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and BTS.
It just goes to show that some music genuinely transcends generations.
