Michael Jackson’s Music Streams Surge Globally After New Generation Discovers His Catalog
Michael Jackson is proving once again why he remains the undisputed King of Pop. In a surprising twist this week, global streaming numbers for Jackson’s catalog surged dramatically after a wave of Gen-Z creators on TikTok and Instagram began using his songs in viral videos.
According to global streaming statistics, classic hits like “Billie Jean,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Beat It,” and “They Don’t Care About Us” saw over a 250% spike in 48 hours, making this one of the biggest catalog resurgences of the year.
Industry analysts say the sudden spike comes from a viral trend using Michael’s iconic transitions and dance moments, which has drawn millions of younger listeners discovering him for the first time.
Why Is This Happening?
Music experts believe this surge proves one thing: legends don’t fade. Michael Jackson’s ability to dominate digital platforms decades after his passing demonstrates his unchallenged cultural impact.
Critics predict more of his songs may return to the charts before the month ends as the trend continues to spread across multiple platforms.
Once again, Michael Jackson is reminding the world that the crown never left his head. New generation or old generation — everyone feels the magic.
