This video forgot to mention that The Jackson 5 was the first artists in history to have their first four singles all go to number one. It also didn’t mention that Michael’s Off The Wall album was the first album in history to have four top ten singles off one album. That was a big deal at the time because no other albums achieved that as all albums back then had one or two successful singles released on an album at a time. Then Michael broke his own record years later when Thriller had seven top ten singles.
We were so lucky to have had Michael on this Earth. He truly was, a musical genius, and actually a genius in sooo many things. He made the visions in his imagination come alive, and most of us loved it and appreciated it. He created patents, created costumes, wrote his own songs, created dance steps, created and produced, performed, shaped and molded our world, ETC. since he was a CHILD. Michael was not just a genius, he was a MEGA genius. He was also a loving, giving, Humanitarian, saving people's lives and giving of his money and time for so many causes. I'm so grateful for him!
Another mindblowing number in my opinion:
It is estimated that at his peak Michael had 4,8 Billion fans worldwide. I know it is nearly impossible to measure, but regarding his amount of fame and that even today everyone still knows him, this number seems acurate to me.
4,8 Billion fans is just beyond amazing.
@@noname-bl8qy Well I'd say he always peaked. But I think in general mid to late 80s or early 90s.
Sounds a bit much. That was about 95% of the global population at the time 😂
Michael Jackson's stage appearance during 1988's "Bad tour" was incredible.
He is the most awarded musician in history with 834 career awards.
@swagdollarbills aren't u the same person who said he wasn't interested in women
He wasn't just king of pop
He was the king of MUSIC 👑
All of you are completely right without any questions ever asked,,real talk and facts
Kings of music are Bach, Haydn, Beethoven and Chopin. Not any pop dude
@@user-li1kw1ux3e did you comprehend what was said you ignorant asshole none of the artist have done what Michael has done for his music world 🌎 since he was a iconic child singer and none of them can match his unique and unmatched talents,,thriller reached a audience of ages 8-80 on just 9 iconic and timeless songs and he made singing,dancing,videos a superior iconic art form in itself and he made dancing a story line for the videos and he changed music industry business,,,none of the artists that you named have done anything close to that,,,real talk and facts,,,,so shut your ignorant ass mouth asshole and pop music is short for popular music you fuckng ignorant asshole which was developed in the 1940-1950 so before you expose your fucking ignorance to the world 🌎 know your music history concrete facts before giving your ignorant and bias bull shit opinion because your opinion is straight up wrong and bull shit to the fuckng fullest,,,real talk and facts asshole,,,
I’m so proud of him
It didn't matter what MJ did; he was a trailblazer for music, humanitarian work, and fashion. Few artists before and since could ever reach his star power. Even in death, MJ is unmatched in pure raw talent. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop. 🎉

Jacksonas nieko nepadarė, jis buvo tiesos, dorumo dosnumo ysikunijimas, tu klysti
Maiklas buvo visapusiškai nuostabus, talentingas unikumu unikumas visi pasaulio žmones isteriškai sekė bėgo paskui
Maikla visi troško ji pamatyti, jo klausytis, ji matyti amžinai garbinsim, šlovinsim žavesimes
Maiklu
Jacksonu ir be go jo ilgesimes, be galo✌️👏👍💯⭐⭐⭐💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😔💔🇱🇹
Right. I think that's babyface who resumed better than anyone MJ. "The only artist able to extend his fan base generation After generation.. even After passing away... to see kids of 4-12 years old asking to watch MJ's vidéo...they weren't born when all the iconical albums of MJ were released... It's not about music it's just magical...
Goes to show you, no matter how hard the media (and others) tried to destroy him, he was invincible. He was and always will be the greatest entertainer the world will ever see and I’m personally so grateful to have grown up as he did, to have witnessed his career as it unfolded and to have seen him live.
It cannot be denied…he was the greatest entertainer of all time! No one came close.
Just simply one of a kind.
MJ is the most popular entertainer in the world, he really did influence the whole world, no one can replace him, love from China🇨🇳
He's not just the most popular entertainer, he's the most popular person in the world
We can say he is still The King of Pop!
Yes he still is now and forever his estate owns the name King of Pop it's Trademarked Copy righted
This guy was something else back, in the 1980s.
Remember it well. Never seen anyone move like him on stage. ( & that includes Elvis Presley, James Brown, etc ).
Jackson had an explosive, smooth, fluid, slickness, like no other. Possessing, incredible balletic timing, & elegant, speed of movement, with an alley cat, screeching electricity. Undoubtely, the greatest music entertainer, I've seen my lifetime.
@@johnwise4341 Chris doesn't have Mike's fluid, smooth, liquidity of movement. & supreme, balletic, elegance, & stage charisma. CB has more of a frenetic style of movement. Not aesthetically pleasing to the eye to me.
1950s Elvis Presley & 1960s James Brown, run Mike the closet. They had that explosive, stylish, stage charisma, of movement.
Could be a generation thing, as i don't find Chris Brown or Usher, interesting at all.
Michael Jackson was the best entertainer of all time. A legion. We miss you and love you ❤️. Rest in peace 🌹🌹 God bless you 😇
There never ever will be another one like him, he was one of a kind ❤️❤️❤️
He still remains one of the top 5 humanity's benefactors. Supposedly, he donated between 200 000 000 and 400 000 000 USD to 40 charities. After he passed away, he stated in his last will that 20% of his money would go to charities. Many concerts also raised huge amounts of money which was then donated to charities as well : At least 7 million USD were donated through all those concerts.
The biggest record breaker in music. Incredible.
Michael jackson is the king of music and the greatest entertainer ever lived ❤ I love mj so much
He’s actually THE most iconic of all time especially since he’s the greatest of all time in almost every category and the most successful & greatest entertainer of all time by Guinness world records and is often considered the most famous person of all time as well (debatable between Jesus, Buddha, the prophet Mohammad). He’s not just an iconic singer and dancer, Michael sits up there with the greats. The music artist of today will all be soon forgotten. He is an actual legend and will go down in history. King of pop? Hardly. King of music & dance? Better. Whatever you call him in the end he is simply the KING.
There should be NO debate about Micheal and Jesus's popularity in this world. JesusCbrist is God. JesusChrist is the King of all kings. The only reason why many people do not want to recognized Jesus because they do not want to turn away from their wicked ways and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins that who ever believe in Him shall not perish but will have an everlasting life with Him in heaven. He is the only one true God and there is none like Him.
Do not get me wrong. I like Micheal and admired his talent and overflowing kindness. And I know if he is still alive today he will not like it that he is comparing to Jesus popularity. Because he himself bow down to the KING (JesusCbrist).
@@Yiskah777
Only one thing wrong wity that assertion:
"He" didn't exist, while Jackson did.
@@camaradiop3731 I feel sorry for you. That's exactly the reason why He is not popular as Michael was..because you doesn't want to know HIS EXISTENCE!
The fact that you're alive and breathing that's because of God.
*Jeremiah 29:13*
"YOU SEEK ME, YOU WILL FIND ME. YOU WILL FIND ME IF YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART."
The only one who left the others behind… Nothing will make me admire his unique talent less. ❤❤❤
Michael Truly set the bar very high in absolutely everything he did!! He was an amazing artist, entertainer/performer & person over all.
The sweetest & most beautifully amazing man that ever lived!!! God if only we could have him back forever! R.I.P King Of Pop ❤️❤️❤️
HIStory is the best selling double album of all time and, b4 you are not alone become the highest debut of all time, scream was the first song to debut in the top 5 of the hot 100.
And if I'm not wrong, xscape is the best selling posthumous album of all time too
We still miss him to this day💕
Amazing work Detail💫
He really was and still is KinG Of PoP Forever.KiNg Of KiNgS MJ the Greatest entertainer the World has ever seen.He became that big in entertainment business nobody can get any bigger.R.I.P MJ you're gone but never forgotten.✌️&❤
THE greatest 🐐
That thumbnail...Lord that man was FINE
Another notable record still Holden by MJ IS his 7 consecutives sold out concerts at the Wembley stadium in UK... With a total of 504.000 attendance... Record Never broken !
@@vdubshoya2541 was shit ugly Freak Michael Jackson ( wacko jacko) black or white? I am curious 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Most handsome guy ever
Michael Jackson is still The KING of Pop❤️
He is the most awarded artist too!🔥king of pop and the greatest entertainer ever lived👑❤
Michael is also the first artist from the 20th century to hit a billion views, multiple times now, on youtube video's. He may still be the only one too. I'm not sure
Michael also managed to cut down world hunger in half in the 80's and 90's. Not to mention that We Are The World set an interesting record too. It was played world wide in many many many countries at the same time on many different radio stations. I believe that song to this day is the only song to which that happened to
Michael also holds the world record for most rewarded artist by a long way too. He has almost 900 awards under his belt. Whitney Houston and Beyonce follow in 2 and 3 with both 600 something. So both have a long way to go before they reach Michael's number.
I could go on and on for hours like this. He really took the world by storm. We didn't deserve him
That's why he's called the king of pop, many magazines and websites think they can give the title of kop to any mediocre artist
he is and always be the King of Pop no one will ever take that from him rolling stone can not take that title from him black excellence at its finest
King of pop popping them records 🔥🔥🔥
A very special man of the music he was❤
appreciation of his music is what i like to see. it's what he cared about in other people who he admired and it's what everyone else should care about
MJ has the highest number of albums on the list of best-selling albums worldwide with 5 !
In comparison Celine Dion has 4, while the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Madonna and Whitney Houston each have 3 albums.
Yet he was ranked at 86th on Rolling Stone's list of the 200 best singers of all time
That just shows that Rolling Stone is very untrustworthy
Eso quiere decir q michael es el q mejor promedio de ventas a tenido en la historia
Michael is forever ❤❤❤
he is the most famous human being that's a record he was the biggest star ever
Please continue the year in review videos 😂 I live for them 😭
@@thedetail. when you finish the 2000s decade, can you please do the 1970s decade? 1969-1978. Yes, these are primarily Jackson 5 and The Jacksons years but they’re still important to Michael’s career history.
for your next video can you please do how artists inspire and influence by Michael Jackson and Bob Marley.
Irreplaceable..unbeatable..no matter what decades...artists nowadays didnt last long and 2 or 5 songs hit only..MJ IS FOREVER KING OF POP..great singer,dancer,performer,composer and awesome energy he had👍👍👍👍♥️♥️🙏🙏
Michael Jackson is my biggest and greatest music inspiration, my favorite singer, my music legend and music idol and icon!!! ❤😊❤😊❤
A legend , he will never be forgotten
Nobody today can be compared to Michael no way
I love the thumbnail so much. That’s such a good picture of him
RIP to the greatest entertainer. I got flashbacks of Elementary School when his younger clips from the Thriller Era were shown.
Simply the best forever Michael Jackson 👑🎶🌎
Thank you for your wonderful job "the detail". Michael Jackson's legacy will forever be the greatest of all times. 💖👑
for your next video can you please do how artists inspire and influence by Michael Jackson and Bob Marley.
I think it's actually 120 million copies for Thriller worldwide
70million is the actual pure sales of the album. 120million is when you add the sales of the albums singles and streams. This is called equivalent album sales or equivalent album units. Every record label does this for their artists
@@for-house-stark That makes sense.. Still remarkable when you consider that Thriller sold 14 million copies during its first year between November '82 and November '83. Not many artists exponentially increase their album sales decades after it was released.
@@KtotheG thriller sold over 36million copies in the first one year after its release, not 14 million
yes before Mike passed it was 104 million the world music awards said it in 06
Heck he has passed and Still breaking Records well Done MJ
I love Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson forever.❤👑
Still the king of pop and greatest til today❤❤Those other artists may beat his records but will never reach Mj's level❤❤
Excellent documentary with the best clips of him … thank you so much! Keep up the great work.
He was the king of it all, in my opinion he is the king of music, he did and mastered almost all of the type of music ever
I agree 🙌🏼 but then you got Elvis fans who think Elvis is the greatest but Elvis was nothing compared to Michael Jackson 🙌🏼🙌🏼
A thing to consider is that; whilst individuals have broken some of his records, he alone made all those records.
the very definition of LEGEND 👑
The picture in the thumbnail is from the 1984 American Music Awards. Diana Ross reportedly begged him to take them off but he refused. Through closer examination, it appears he did that to make his fourth rhinoplasty less conspicuous. It was literally perfect in 1981, and while it's been argued that on Motown 25 his nose was too small for his face, I think it fit him PERFECTLY and added to his otherworldly aura. If only he had a surgeon who cared about ethics more than money... And if only Michael himself knew how beautiful he was...
Он все ещё король поп- музыки! 👑👑👑Майкл Джексон неповторимый, мегазвезда и икона, навсегда 💪 ❤❤ Память вечна 🌟⭐️🌟
I'm surprised that his album "Invincible" wasn't In this video because I always thought that was his best albums I personally think that's his most underrated album it really doesn't getting talked about enough 🤷🏾♂️anyways it's one of Of my favorite album I even like some songs like "You Rock My World", "Unbreakable", "Butterflies" & "Threatened" I just wanted to put it out there cause I think "Invincible" should get some love.
Michael Jackson is the greatest of all time ❤😇❤
That thumbnail is 🔥 🔥 🔥
E non ti batterà mai nessuno sei il migliore ancora adesso ❤❤
The most imiatated but never duplicated artist in the world all the young kids want to sing and dance like the King 👑
King 🕯️👑🕯️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🇮🇳
The main record: king of music. This is it . 🎉
I am very happy for him 😊
This man was touched by God
Michael was just beautiful and that’s all I have to say ❤
Hatred and bitterness won't take you nowhere you fool 😅 you probably noticed he's better than your fave so you're pained😂😂😂
The king of pop forever❤️👑
Ti adorooooo michael jackson non solo perché sei un fantastico artista ma anche per la tua semplicità e bontà, sto iniziando tardi ha conoscerti ma non ci vuole molto a capire che sei una persona meravigliosa e buona . Riposa in pace michael jackson ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you guys ever Noticed many people cannot sing like Michael. On t v shows like america's got talent I never ever see someone try to sing one Of his songs and I think it's because that's how unique he was his voice he was and still is the best There is only one michael jackson
Michael Jackson legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Michael forever ❤️
Nice piece. 👏👏👏
However, you left out that as the lead singer of the J5 that their first 4 songs went to number one. Groundbreaking.
You also forgot about his tours. For example, during the Bad World tour, he sold out Wembley Stadium 7 nights in a row, 6 months in advance. That record remains today.
But overall, not a bad report.
The best forever.
Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time.
He is the king 👑of music and dance.🙏
GOAT. There shouldn’t even be a debate about it.
@@limerobloxgaming8567 lol the weeknd is best but Michael is wayyyyyy better then best
THE RAREST HUMAN TO EVER LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The king never Lost
Crown
Love this. Michael Joseph Jackson, the GOAT.
I love Michael Jackson, but i also LLOVEE this channel!! Thanks TheDetail!
I bet you no artist can break the 63 million thriller album
The king of pop/the greatest artist in History!!!
They forgot to mention The Bad Tour being the best selling concert of all time he held that record for awhile
Another incredible achievement I recently discovered
His Wikipedia page is the most viewed by a singer, 5th by a person (behind Donald Trump, Elizabeth II, Barack Obama, and Cristiano Ronaldo) and the 9th overall.
I though that was incredible.
@@sunnymane5646 i wish he'd still be here, he'd be such a wholesome older man..
THAT BROTHER JUST DON'T LOSE!!! NOBODY got it like this! NOBODY!
The man reached a level FAR beyond Super Saiyan! FAR Beyond Super Saiyan BLUE even!
Michael's Ultra Instinct is to defy reality & the possible to do the IMPOSSIBLE & make it feel like you're in a fantasy.
I am so glad I lived when he lived. I got to see the majority of it in real time.
Michael Joseph Jackson from Gary, Indiana, USA = The Standard. STILL!
El no es uno de los artistas más emblemáticos sino el más
Shit ugly Freak jacko without nose was a racist and abuser
The most highly hyped overrated Freak ever
Je voulais juste dire que j’ai une pensée pour Michael Jackson qui me manque cruellement ❤ et également pour son amie Tina Turner qui vient de le rejoindre
Without Internet at that Time. HE'S THE BEST❤
King of pop and world
Michael the grestest entretener the King of pop.we all love you so much🎉 mucho más ❤❤❤
He earned the name king of pop rest up Michael
I love this
Wait what? The sales of Thriller 40 made Mexico’s best selling album in history? Are we gonna act like we just didn’t hear that ..Did anyone CATCH THAT??
You never know what you’ve lost until it’s gone. The most iconic musician of all time.
