August 30, 20186 yr Author Hi John, It doesn´t matter witch track is the number 1. They are all 60 (or more) great :heart: In Holland we had also a MJ day on Radio 10 http://www.radio10.nl It´s every year now! The King never dies! Hi Sven! Yes so many greats could easily be number one, and one of them is. It's def not a track nobody knows. I'm a tease! :lol:
August 31, 20186 yr Author 30. I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU Michael Jackson/ Siedah Garrett 2009 (604400) This seemed an odd video-less understated lead track off Bad, but I actually love the melody and Siedah Garrett getting a harmony vocal spot for donating Man In The Mirror to Jacko. GAmVuYEeSSg
August 31, 20186 yr Author 29. MAMA’S PEARL The Jackson 5 1971 (608300) A track I heard simultaneously with Never Can Say Goodbye, but this got more points "sales" - I would rate them the other way round these days, this one very much I Want You Back part 4, but still fond Singapore memories for me. eLpQ5EyjJOs
August 31, 20186 yr Author 28. ABC The Jackson 5 1970 (613850) Jackson 5 hits coming thick & fast now. Never my most-fave J5 track this one, and it's here largely because I allowed Sigala's Easy Love to count as bonus sales for this, cos it was basically a huge part of the track. ho7796-au8U shhh, dont tell anyone but I prefer this version... ozx898ADTxM
August 31, 20186 yr Author 27. YOU ROCK MY WORLD Michael Jackson 2001 (642500) The highest-rated 21st century track, skip the first 4 minutes of self-indulgence, and I havent heard this in 16 years till now (I didn't buy it). It's flattered in this run-down by about 15 places or so. 1-7ABIM2qjU
August 31, 20186 yr Author 26. SAY SAY SAY Paul McCartney Michael Jackson 1983 (645800) The other Macca Jacko duet, the better one, and the one with a video that changes the fortunes of the track, which was meandering about a bit in the lower regions till the video debuted. I still like this a lot. Fun. PqwnLDdu11Q
August 31, 20186 yr Author 25. WHO IS IT? Michael Jackson 1992 (666400) I've not revisited Dangerous for quite some time, other than what I've heard on the radio, and this track never gets much airplay. That's a shame, but at least it placed pretty well here! Lovely strings/synths and under-rated. PfrV_6yWbEg
August 31, 20186 yr Author 24. SHOW YOU THE WAY TO GO The Jacksons 1977 (703000) The Sound Of Philadelphia after it had peaked, basically, but a UK chart-topper, and one I still love - it also topped my charts, the first of two Jacksons track to do that. Nice guitar riff too, on top of the lush Philly strings. oiVyhr_may0
August 31, 20186 yr Author 23. HEAL THE WORLD Michael Jackson 1992 (728400) Some find this one nauseating in it's saccharin sentiment. Not helped by the kiddie-themed video and the choir. I approve of the sentiment, but 26 years later clearly no-one listened one iota. That makes it even sadder. BWf-eARnf6U
August 31, 20186 yr Author 22. JAM Michael Jackson 1992 (729850) Let's just call this the Dangerous part of the chart shall we, and yes this is a jam. JbHI1yI1Ndk
August 31, 20186 yr Author 21. LIBERIAN GIRL Michael Jackson 1989 (759650) Librarian Girl. A who's who in 80's US media in the video. Sadly half of them, at least, mean nothing in 2018 and the chit chatting is very annoying spoiling an otherwise good Bad track. Topped my charts. "Oh look at all my famous friends" is not a viable excuse to ruin the track you're promoting, though.... f3V-7DEAgdc
August 31, 20186 yr Hi dandy, if your fave is Who Is It, yes it's still to come, 4 tracks off that album all peaked at 2 in my charts, if it's not - probably is anyway, I think the only major track that won't feature is You Are Not R.Kelly. Spoiler! I never rated it..... It is indeed! Glad to see it did well for you, although not as well as it should have! :D A quick attempt at a MJ top 10 for me would be... 01 Who Is It? 02 Smooth Criminal 03 They Don't Really Care About Us 04 In The Closet 05 Thriller 06 Stranger In Moscow 07 Black or White 08 Beat It 09 Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 10 Will You Be There And this is the other version of Who Is It that I often talk about on here, I loved it back when the single was released: kiu4ir63hnw I really love both versions :wub:

Ooops only 3 of your top 10 made my top 20, and one didn't even make my 60 - I never really got In The Closet :(
September 2, 20186 yr Author 20. BLACK OR WHITE Michael Jackson 1991 (776000) Lead track off Dangerous, and a great choice, one of his best videos, morphing-tastic, Norm from Cheers, and an upbeat track with a simple righteous message that isn't over-egged. UK chart-topper, 2 peak in my charts though. F2AitTPI5U0
September 2, 20186 yr Author 19. WILL YOU BE THERE? Michael Jackson 1993 (792700) The biggest track of Dangerous in my charts was this late single release, all gospel tingly for me, and probably my fave track off the album. jQY_QL_wvQU
September 2, 20186 yr Author 18. HUMAN NATURE Michael Jackson 1983 (821400) Never a UK single, this gorgeous Thriller US hit track finally charted a decade later for SWV and their fab rewrite/remake as Right Here (Human Nature) which is equally as good, if not better. As it lifted so much of the original I combined the two for sales, cos it deserves to be this high. tKAh--ss1r0 vHwXoY0LiQk
September 2, 20186 yr Some super tracks here, shall comment further later on when I have time. I just looked it up and can't believe that Michael has been gone for 9 years. :o

September 2, 20186 yr Author 17. ROCK WITH YOU Michael Jackson 1980 (875650) Another sultry lovely Off The Wall US chart-topper, lesser in the UK, and a number 2 in my 1980 charts, but it eventually topped my charts in 2006 during the singles catalogue reissues period, as I'd always under-estimated it chartwise. Effortlessly laid back. 17 ROCK WITH YOU Michael Jackson 1980 875650
September 2, 20186 yr Author 16. DIRTY DIANA Michael Jackson 1988 (1020250) About as "rock" as MJ got, this aggressive exciting Bad cut topped my chart in 1988, and it's also the first of 16 million-sellers (don't get too excited I have around 800 million-sellers, though even then it's still about 2% of all there have ever been in 50 years of charting, so still not Bad!) :) yUi_S6YWjZw
