I can only assume that you're stats are right, but the only one I question is this: according to Billboard (which is the king of chart statistics), "Billie Jean" was at #1 for 7 weeks while "Beat It" was #1 for 3 weeks. Still, chart history in the 80's was amazing. It'll be interesting to see how his new album does next year. With all of his scandals, he'll have a tough road ahead of him in the U.S. </p> http://houstonist.com/2006/10/27/friday_afternoo_13.php#comment-557627 http://houstonist.com/2006/10/27/friday_afternoo_13.php#comment-557627 Comments Sun, 29 Oct 2006 09:36:15 -0600 <p>Michael Jackson's Thriller video.
