Out of all the musical biopics, Michael<\/a>\u00a0has been getting more positive reception from the fans than the critics. As an experience, it tells the story of how he went from being just a dreamer with a knack for music to the King of Pop.\n<\/p>\n

When he died, it was a loss for the whole world. Whether you’ve been listening to his music for decades or got into it post his death, it has had an impact on everyone’s music taste. Now, he’s once again charting the records.\n<\/p>\n

As had happened with Queen when Bohemian Rhapsody came out, Michael Jackson’s<\/a> songs have also once again started gaining immense popularity with Michael’s release. Seventeen years since his passing, his biopic is reminding everyone just how big of a legend he really is.\n<\/p>\n

Although that may not be a surprise, what is shocking is that it isn’t just his songs like \u201cBillie Jean,\u201d \u201cBad,\u201d \u201cBeat It,\u201d and \u201cThriller\u201dthat have been gaining popularity. Instead, it is the artist himself who’s made his way to the top again.\n<\/p>\n

He’s the number one artist across multiple streaming platforms. According to Kworb, a data analysis agency, Jackson has been leading with 11157 points for May. This is followed by Justin Bieber<\/a> with 6877 points. His growth is also contributed to by his performances during Coachella.\n<\/p>\n

This is followed by BTS with 4397 points, Bad Bunny with 4085 points, and Taylor Swift with 3136 points. This is calculated amongst platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Shazam, and Deezer. It isn’t a surprise as to why Michael Jackson is called the King of Pop.\n<\/p>\n

Seventeen years after his death, he’s here to prove once again why there can never be anyone like him ever again. His impact was his alone and it will forever remain.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
