Michael Jackson Experiences Resurgence on Various Billboard Rankings
Many musicians long for a single Billboard chart placement, especially those whose prime has passed or are no longer with us. However, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, doesn't settle for less. This week, he's gracing multiple Billboard charts with both songs and albums, but the focus is on the full-lengths.
Two of Jackson's albums found their way onto the Billboard rankings, with "The Essential Michael Jackson" making a comeback on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B Albums charts. Landing at No. 189 on the former and No. 19 on the latter, it managed to regain its spot after a brief absence.
