Then after he died, everyone pretended he was always on top and that everyone liked him. When he was just the center piece of all pedo jokes for an entire decade in pop culture.

Of course he diminished, like every artist does after being in the music business for more than 35 years. What artist stays on top for 3 or 4 decades?
But people still bought his albums, the Thriller 25 album released in 2008 sold 5-6 million copies. What new material wasn't he invited to perform when he didn't release any new material since 2001? And not to forget his record breaking This Is It tour that sold out in hours.
