Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake Hit Hot 100's Top 10
The King of Pop makes history as the only artist with top 10 Hot 100 hits in each of five decades. Meanwhile, Legend's 'All of Me' leads for a third week, Coldplay lands its third top 10 and Iggy Azalea tops Streaming Songs

Michael Jackson rewrites a pair of vaunted Hot 100 records, as "Love Never Felt So Good," with Justin Timberlake, blasts 22-9.

With so many moves on the Hot 100 and more, let's dig into our weekly rundown of the numbers behind the charts, starting with the late King of Pop.

As "Good" rockets into the top 10, as parent album "Xscape" launches at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the song's ascent makes history on the Hot 100: with the advance, Jackson becomes the first artist to notch a top 10 Hot 100 hit in each of five decades. Dating to his first top 10, the No. 4-peaking "Got to Be There," in 1971, he's now reached the top 10 with songs in the '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s. (His breakdown of top 10s in those decades, respectively: four, 17, six, one, one. "Good" is Jackson's first top 10 since he died in 2009.)

Jackson passes five artists that have tallied Hot 100 top 10s in each of four decades: Barbra Streisand, Cher (both '60s-'90s), Aerosmith ('70s-'00s), Madonna and Whitney Houston (both '80s-'10s). (Houston joined the elite club posthumously and, unlike Streisand, Cher, Aerosmith and Madonna, did so by returning to the top 10 with a song that had previously reached the region: her 1992-93 14-week No. 1 "I Will Always Love You" returned and rose to No. 3 following her passing in 2012.)

Jackson topples another notable mark: he extends his span of appearing in the Hot 100's top 10 to a record-breaking 42 weeks, six months and one week. "Got to Be There" began his top 10 history when it lifted 13-9 on the Nov. 20, 1971, chart; this week's chart is dated May 31. He passes Santana, whose top 10 discography spans 33 years and eight months, from 1970's "Evil Ways" to 2003's "Why Don't You & I." Cher ranks third with a 33-year, one-month, three-week top 10 span (1966-99).

"Good" is Jackson's 29th Hot 100 top 10, granting him sole possession of the third-most top 10s in the chart's 55-year history. (The sign, as always, that Jackson and the Hot 100 were meant to be together: both arrived the same month, August 1958. The Hot 100 launched on Aug. 4 that year, while Jackson was born 25 days later.) He passes Stevie Wonder (28 top 10s), with whom he'd been tied since Jackson scored his last top 10, the No. 10-peaking "You Rock My World," in 2001. Madonna leads all acts with 38 top 10s, while the Beatles rank second with 34. Following Jackson and Wonder are Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Elton John, each with 27. (Jackson danced to another 10 top 10s with the Jackson 5/Jacksons in 1970-84.)

How does "Good" reach to the Hot 100's top 10? It gains by 9 percent to 110,000 downloads sold (despite slipping 6-7 on the Digital Songs chart) in the Nielsen SoundScan tracking week ending on May 18, the same night that the much-buzzed-about virtual Jackson took to the stage on the Billboard Music Awards (for a performance of fellow "Xscape" track "Slave to the Rhythm"). With the video for "Good" having premiered on May 14, the song re-enters the Streaming Songs chart at No. 9 with a 299 percent surge to 4.6 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen BDS, good for top Streaming Gainer honors on the Hot 100. Fifty-nine percent of its streaming points are from Vevo on YouTube views. "Good" debuts on the subscription services-based On Demand Songs chart at No. 20 with 1.2 million on-demand streams (up from 2,000 the week before). It concurrently re-enters Radio Songs at No. 44, up by 37 percent to 30 million audience impressions, according to BDS. It had charted at No. 38 two weeks ago (with 34 million), aided by promotional play on May 2 by Clear Channel Media and Entertainment-owned stations across multiple formats.

In addition to Jackson's honors, Timberlake, of course, adds to his rising Hot 100 legacy, as "Good" marks his 16th top 10 in addition to six as part of 'N Sync. He also becomes the fourth artist to duet with Jackson on a top 10: Jackson and Paul McCartney reached No. 2 in 1983 with "The Girl Is Mine" and spent six weeks on top in 1983-84 with "Say Say Say"; the Siedah Garrett-assisted "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" crowned the Sept. 19, 1987, Hot 100; and, Michael and Janet Jackson teamed for the No. 5 family affair "Scream" in 1995. (Fun fact, via Billboard 200 chart manager Keith Caulfield: Timberlake is the only artist to have shared Hot 100 artist credit with both Jackson and Madonna, aka, the respective King and Queen of Pop. Madonna's "4 Minutes," featuring Timberlake and Timbaland, hit No. 3 in 2008.)

Timberlake's own "Not a Bad Thing" maintains its No. 8 peak rank, fueled by advances on Radio Songs (4-3; 121 million, up 4 percent) and Streaming Songs (21-21; 2.7 million, up 11 percent). It's all good for Timberlake, as, with "Good" and "Bad" in the top 10 simultaneously, he boasts two titles in the tier for a lucky 13th time; he last doubled up on the Aug. 3, 2013, Hot 100 as a guest on Jay Z's "Holy Grail" and with his own "Mirrors."
