Apr 11, 2020Nope.
Apr 11, 2020no, such a phenomenon is not possible in the streaming age. not even an era that lasts 2 years is possible unless it's a debut era with an album that got greenlighted by 2 successful singles.
albums don't even sell 10m copies anymore unless you're Adele.
Apr 11, 2020Motherfuckers forget how big MJ was. It was literally Breaking News when he dropped something, tv news stopped what they were doing to show his video premieres
I love Drake but no ther artists have achieved that besides The Beatles maybe

KingOfPopIn short - no
To expand on that, no.
No one and no thing on this planet comes close to Michael Jackson. We are talking about a guy who at one point was second only to Jesus in terms of being known globally.
Drake might get a few spotify streams but in the bigger picture he doesn’t have 10% of the reach Michael had at any point of his career.

IKARUS2020Sales wise no, but i think more ppl listening to drake rn, then mj ever
Since like there is more ppl on earth in 20020 and streaming
this is probably the worst post I’ve ever read on this site
Apr 11, 2020No. There's more accessible variety because of streaming. And music's biggest names aren't cutting edge anymore and haven't been for a while.

Feel like scorpion and views did
Thriller even ppl who don’t own it or heard the album from start to finish knows all the songs because it was that of an impact in the landscape of pop culture
Every songs are a hit in one way or another even if not released as a single or with video: they are all celebrated, covered, used in media, sampled etc, literally every single song from it, anyway you want it, it has been done
The Drake double album if you haven’t listened to it you’ll know like 3 songs from it max

Thriller sold 32 Million Worldwide in its first year of release.
To put it in streaming terms, even if everyone who bought it listened to it once it would've pulled about 288M Streams (32M * 9 songs).
When you factor in those initial sales, the radio and video airplay, and the impact Thriller had every generation after the 80s, it's not crazy to believe Thriller has been played or heard well more than Drake's music has been.

And yet MJ still has the best sales by far

I don't have any data on this subject, but I understand your logic with this statement. Bold statement for sure!
No secret that there are tons of artists who made better music than MJ...I mean...Prince, D'angelo, Ye, Outkast...idk people will always worship MJ with the nostalgia goggles tho...

Gabagool MentalityEagles greatest hits sold more in the US by 5 million. But Thriller has more worldwide sales
Provably false. Thriller has always outsold the Eagles.

Adele's 21 and 25 will eventually outsell

People are forgetting what it meant for Jackson to release music.
500 MILLION people all over the world stopped what they were doing to watch the 'Black or White' short film.
Nothing comes close to this man. Nothing ever will.

25 is 40+ million copies behind.
Thriller continues to sell more than 100,000 copies a year.
What makes you think it will outsell?

No they won't, especially not 25
