Michael Jackson Radio Play Skyrockets!
Filed under: Michael Jackson
After Michael Jackson's sudden passing last Thursday, his greatest hits and even some lesser known gems have garnered nonstop radio play to honor his memory.
According to Billboard, Jackson's air play increased 1,735% from last week!
Jackson hit Rock With You was heard about 500 times in the week prior to his death, but this past week 22 of Michael's tracks eclipsed 1,000 plays!
Leading in air play is Billie Jean, which places the track at No. 51 among titles for the week!
Not bad for a song released in 1983!!!!

Well that was kind of predictable. But still, his songs are timeless, so they deserve to get so much radio play. Sales for his albums must have skyrocketed too. Too bad he's not there to see all this…
i know! his songs are on the top list of itunes and other music websites too.
omg i love this picture btw!
I like this picture of Michael; he should have stopped the transformation here…so sad!
can we stop talking about him already…. people die every day…
Such a talent. R.I.P MJ
Just goes to show that his music still makes people want to dance 26 years later! Rest in Piece Michael!
Billie Jean has aged so well. It's a true classic and I believe it will stand the test of time as Michael's greatest song.
rip
Re: da queen bee –
It is true that people die every day, but how many people die everyday that have affected our culture so much.
Its gonna be hard for alot of people to accept for a while.
Re: da queen bee – no shit sherlock, of course people die every day. i dont think i need to explain why his death is being made a big deal out of? this is the most famous celebrity since elvis…
What's the difference between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson?
Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.
Michael Jackson touched little boys.
Re: sacredxdarling – wow I can't spell
Rest in Peace Michael
In memory of MJ’s death, McDonald’s is coming out with the new “McJackson”. It’s 50 year old meat between 12 year old buns.
The "Thriller" album was released in December 1982, not 1983.
this is only right!! he will live forever through his music!! he got his wish!!
M.J scares me lmao
Re: da queen bee –
You're dumb.
its too bad that it had to be wen he died wen people appreciate him again
Re: da queen bee – if u hate it so much then lock urself up in a dark room and dont come out till next month. cuz this will definelty continue until all the truth about his death comes out
Re: therealstinkweed –
Hatem or love him, everybody admits that is music was the best/ Not even Freddie Mercury did what he did.
Thank you for the music MJ!
Anytime I hear ANY of MJ's songs play on the radio in my car, I bump that shit up. R.I.P. King of Pop!
Michael Jackson looked perfect here, the nose thinned to perfection. It still looked normal. It's a shame he had to go and spoil it by more surgery.
tell me about it.
I live all the way in Kuwait .. and our radio stations have been playing NONSTOP MJ songs.
Re: Laury – Well said! I have EVERY Single ONE of his SONGS! On IPOD and BACK DISK! But, this took a couple years to do.
Some of the CD's I already had. People back those up.
Don't give a crap if he made a few good songs. Doesn't excuse what he did to children.
Dying does not make you a good person!
His music were fantastic! Everybody evicted him and his musics during so many years, now all of them are "friends", lovers, fans … Also that bad child came to say that his father obliged him to lie, what has made his life a hell! You have to honor people when they are alive!

Re: therealstinkweed – haha that was so damn corney bitch did you really just think of that bullshit by yourself
really what was the point of your existence
Re: therealstinkweed – well um the last time i checked he was named innocent of all those charges and the boy he so called touched before just came out saying it was a fuckin lie as if i didnt know that see i wasnt there so im not going to CLAIM like you fuck faces do to know what happened in there but i damn sure wont take the side of leeches who wanted his money in the first damn place and the media thats just plain stupid
the only thing he was guilty of was acting and looking strange to people standards
people should take the time to think about this shit
when that boy accused him of touching him it so happen it was right after mike made that document which showed him saying he lets boys sleep in his bed while he sleeps on the floor TWO months after the document and statement the boy comes out and say mike touches him hmmmm well that shit is a fuckin genius plan who wouldnt beileve that shit think logically about this the boy had cancer his parents were poor prolly in dept from the cancer treatments people already thinks he is weird as shit and the document enforces that he hangs with a bunch of boys because he thought he was one he had no childhood he was a 12 year old stuck in a 45 year old body if you ever seen any of his interviews you would know this and that did not look right to most people
im just saying anybody with eyes can see that shit was a fuckin setup that people beileve from the beginning because of how he acted and looked
Re: Laury – He sees. RIP Michael
