the superstar has been a dead concept for years now as mainstream culture is all but dead

everything is dividing more and more into niches audiences

drake out now

Surprised she still alive

Great point, I can’t think of any other album like that. Everyone knows thriller beat it and Billie Jean

Love Drake, biggest of his generation but there’s no comparison

100%. There'll never be another Mj. Dude is the pinnacle every artist strives for and with how the music industry is today... aint no way. I dont even know if we'll get someone who moves units like Adele in the near future

Drake is a modern day version, he is at the highest an artist can be in our times and he has tied or passed a lot of his records but I get what you mean in op. He's not as far reaching but give him time Michael Jackson had decades and Drake is only starting his second

once she cuffs broly it's a wrap

drake is probably the last person we will see like this and he’s ten years into his career, so we won’t be seeing his heights ever again

Mike ain’t beat b****es

Imagine a music video having 500 million views 2 hrs after a Youtube Premiere

thought about this when I went to a barbecue. Grandparents, parents and kids were dancing and singing along to Thriller.

Lol yup bro that’s the equivalent of what would’ve happened if we had YouTube when the Thriller video dropped

nowadays you can make a good living by being known by only one specific demographics so there is no need for Michael Jacksons anymore, massive stars as a whole are a dying breed.

I think that's impossible like youtube servers would actually crash. Most is 69 or Eminem getting 70 million in 24 hours and that was stressful for the site

HE WAS 12 HERE BRO

Best artist of any art medium in the history of humanity

MJ to BTS: 'yeah your 60m Vevo 24 hr record is cute and all but I had half a billion down after the video was premiered.' and there were only 5b people in the world back then.

the numbers in @op are crazy but what's crazier is how compared to that some of the Ali fights were watched by more than 2 billion people simultaneously

no disrespect to Drake cause he's been the hugest star for more than half a decade but MJ was much bigger.
man was more than an artist. man was an icon.
he was the culture. from music, performances, even fashion. he moved the needle

There will never be another __

You guys need to stop comparing artists.

Been known

Shouts out @KingOfPop

The man is this gif is was arguably bigger than Drake in his prime

The 80s and 90s were a different ball game
