Michael Jackson did this without social media, btw.

Yep, all over the world, and props to BTS. They’re amazing, too.

Yeah, absolutely! I'm an army too, so.

Yeah! While calling all this out ppl really forgot they are not English singers.. they are Korean, who aren’t even fluent in English n hv limited songs in english.

What the...? Are you talking about BTS? (I'm even an army, so...) I'm just talking about MJ in this post, no hating against nobody. Lol.

Bro the way you wrote it, same I responded no hate to you even…

Concerts where way easier to sell out before social media ,the tickets where cheaper and If you want wanted to see it you had to go because no one could record every second of it

I mean, nobody can match this level of artistry and cultural impact (like MJ). Still nowdays he's one of the greatest artist (even if is not here anymore since 2009, with no album since 2001) with SO manu listeners/fans, all around the world. That' a legacy.

Kind of missing my point lad I’m saying why no one can reach that level again This is what happens when a bio pic comes out mate,people go and listen to his music again it’s not uncommon for them to recharge

@mjjNAEDx Taylor is more popular than he was. She has more no. 1 albums and did bigger concert tours. And the Rolling Stones had the biggest concert tour before she did.

@mjjNAEDx she's released 6 more albums not that it matters, since streaming started its a very different thing in terms of charts

@mjjNAEDx She's obviously got a huge audience but she is in no way comparable on a artistic level I know for a fact a lot of her audience is following her round , she was at Anfield a few years ago and the crowd was like 70% Americans

While Hayb oversold the Kpop group BTcrap as KINGS. Went as far as disrespecting the King's Path in their country. They bragged the group would fill their FREE concert with 300k people (in reality, only 40k). They had to pay some media, eq. Rollingstone to lie about the numbers.

No hate on BTS, please. They're truly greats and deserves all the respect in this world. Michael would have hate this type of comment, for sure.

Really? The way they are saying BTcrap is better than Michael is so hilarious and stupid. Saying their numbers exceeding Michael. Then MJ fans just made them look so small after they lost so much streams and MJ keeps going up.

@mjjNAEDx N o Army said that. Please, you are lying through your teeth. Army respects MJ and Justin Bieber too! Dang.

@mjjNAEDx Ratmies always lying to their teeth. You're not above MJ. Never will.

@LindaTran663169 @mjjNAEDx Okay grandma

@LindaTran663169 @mjjNAEDx Ratmies have more grandmas pretending to be kids. Your idols are hags too.

@AFerreira7i3 @LindaTran663169 You're just trolling. You sound so stupid and cringe, in the big 2026. Get a job and touch the grass, please. Thanks

A lot of people sold out arenas and stadiums before social media

@WMxRyan But can any of them be this impactful, still today?? Mah, don't think so. Michael was just so unique, that's it

@WMxRyan thats just a spike bc of his bio movie. just like when queen had bohemian rhapsody about freddie mercury in 2018.

@mjjNAEDx @WMxRyan Mj getting way higher numbers

@edycrispo @WMxRyan Queen: 66,9M (peak) Michael: +90M (still growing).

The biggest and most followed artist globally amongst all races and ages

Absolutas leyendas

If Michael were alive today, he would have 1 billion followers on Instagram, at least. I wish his estate would be more "social media savvy" so he could stay in the chart constantly and for longer. I also wish they would upload 4K videos of his concerts on YouTube; it’s about time!

He was a very talented artist no disputing that but it’s wrong that he chose to sleep with 8 year old boys

People like you are the cancer of internet. Get a job and touch the grass, trust me. You're tresh talking about the MJ case even with 0 facts on your hand. AT LEAST do some good research on the internet, is not thay difficult. You're just rage baiting us, right? Come on. Grow up

Celebrity worship is a mental illness

@mjjNAEDx Michael touched kids and the movie sucked get over it. Haven't seen the movie 2/10 worst film of the year and its fans are insufferably unintelligent. Seethe and call out for your mid-afternoon Starbucks shift because I triggered you and ruined your week.

@JasonMertak @mjjNAEDx Michael was innocent and the movie is amazing.

@JasonMertak @mjjNAEDx I believe you. But I disagree with MJJNAED. Stanford University did a study proving that MJ touched kids and voted for Trump.

@JasonMertak @mjjNAEDx How did they prove he touched kids ? 😂

@BarryDingleSak @JasonMertak They're just DO ignorants. We're in the big 2026 and still talking sh!t about the MJ case, even with ALL the facts that can be founded online.

1.5 billon watched elvis aloha from Hawaii with no internet

Michael was just SO unique. His legacy is so big still today, in 2026 (facts). So no hate on Elvis but you know... that black man is a true legend.

Stole his dance moves from John travolta and bob fosse

@mjjNAEDx Who stole them from black people.

@mjjNAEDx Nobody stole anything from black people we don’t need mud huts or spears

@mjjNAEDx Yeah, I, my entire lineage was born HERE, in this sh*t hole country. Y’all LOVE to mention Africa to try and make a point.

@mjjNAEDx Where did I mention Africa you 🤡

Michael is the king, but a bunch of acts did this before social media existed.

I know but like Michael is one of the greatest still today, in 2026. His cultural impact was just SO unique.

Yeah so did Elvis and the Beatles

Yeah, but now? No hate on them, I'm a fan too, but obviusly Michael Jackson's cultural impact is still relevant nowdays, and that's a FACT. He's the greatest for a reason. He was (and still is) just SO unique.

And so is Elvis and so is the Beatles. The Beatles are still relevant. They just had a biopic themselves a year or so ago by Peter Jackson. That was a massive hit. It won all kinds of awards. If all you're looking at is Michael, that's all you're going to see

Beatles did this

Não há artista que tenha feito o que Michael Jackson fez.

J entends bcp dire que Michael Jackson a été le numéro 1 sans les réseaux sociaux..ce qui est vrai mais il faut ajouter , avec des médias hostiles pendant des années ,depuis BAD

Although I understand what you're alluding to. For me it is highly commendable that an artist generates a similar level of fame in the social media era where options are boundless. To have a loyal fanbase that fills up stadiums when new artists emerge daily

He wasn't the only one.

👇

I N S A N E

Awesome, majestic Ilove you Michael jackson forever 😪😭

He is social distancing from all the other artists ever.

😍🥰

@soulaaangel Yeah he did!! 🙌🏾

Une légende 🥰

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

And???

@girlsholicc my goat

Exactly

@M0Elinda 🤷🏽‍♀️

No one will come close to him

The world was much better before social media

Exactly.
