The King of Pop cements his timeless legacy, breaking another chart record decades after his passing.

Michael Jackson Breaks Yet Another Record

November 11, 2025: Michael Jackson continues to redefine music history — even 16 years after his death. The King of Pop has officially become the first artist ever to score Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits in six different decades, a feat that highlights his unparalleled influence and enduring relevance across generations.

Jackson’s latest posthumous achievement comes thanks to a newly remixed version of his 1987 track “Smooth Criminal”, which has surged in popularity following its use in multiple viral TikTok trends and a new short film inspired by his music.
