The “King of Pop” Michael Jackson has reclaimed the UK Official Charts, fueled by the massive success of the biopic movie ‘Michael’!
His legendary albums are making a huge comeback too. ‘Thriller’ landed at 6th and ‘Bad’ at 8th on the album charts, while ‘Off the Wall’ and ‘Dangerous’ climbed to 47th and 80th, respectively. Additionally, the movie tie-in album ‘Michael – Songs from the Motion Picture’ entered the charts at 76th.
Michael Jackson’s presence on the singles chart is just as strong. The iconic ‘Billie Jean’ hit 4th place, and ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’ reached 15th. Even the hit song ‘I Want You Back’ by his group The Jackson 5 is back in the spotlight, ranking 33rd.
This chart-climbing fever is also spreading to the US Billboard charts. Experts analyze that the success of the movie ‘Michael’ has led to an increase in the consumption of Michael Jackson’s music. The film, which depicts his life and musical journey, premiered first in North America and will meet Korean audiences on the 13th.
On the Singles Chart Top 100, the song ‘Golden’ from the Netflix animation ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ OST ranked 39th. KATSEYE also made a mark with two songs on the chart: ‘Pinky Up’ at 47th and ‘Touch’ at 98th.
