Michael Jackson also manages to set records posthumously. The ‘King of Pop’, who passed away on June 25, 2009, reached the magical 1 billion views on YouTube with his 1982 hit Billie Jean. He joins Guns N’ Roses with their song Sweet Child O’ Mine (1987) and the Norwegian band A-ha with Take On Me (1985), who already reached this milestone with an 80s hit. This reports Billboard.
Jackson won two Grammys for the song Billie Jean, the clip of which has been viewed 600,000 times a day worldwide this year alone.
Billie Jean is on the album Thriller, which is still the best-selling record of all time. The title song Thriller now has 765 million YouTube views.
