The King of Pop reigns forever.
Despite coming from a completely different era, Michael Jackson‘s music video “Beat It” has become the latest clip to reach one billion views on YouTube.
“Beat It” is Jackson’s third music video to enter the Billion Views Club, following the Moonwalk-featuring “Billie Jean” and 1996’s “They Don’t Care About Us.”
For the period of Nov. 17-23, MJ ranked at #58 on YouTube’s U.S. Top Artists chart and at #96 on their Global Top Artists chart.
In a matter of days, a new documentary commemorating 40 years of Jackson’s historic Thriller album will premiere on Showtime and Paramount+ on December 2.
Chart-topping artists, including Usher, Mary J. Blige, Maxwell and Mark Ronson, are slated to appear for interviews in the new movie, which will also include previously unseen footage of the making of the album.
