When MJ died, did one of his songs top iTunes?

Michael had 51 songs in the top 100.

I mean...you didnt answer the question

Michael's death made a much greater impact, but that was to be expected as MJ was/is THE greatest pop star to ever live. His music hit literally every single demographic possible. That's why he owned the entire Top 10 of the digital songs, album, and video chart.

That doesn't downplay Whitney's impact, though. She's a massive legend in her own right, the first black female superstar, the most successful black female, she broke so many boundaries so effortlessly.

We will never see a celebrity death on MJ's scale anytime in the near future or even our lifetime because there is quite simply no pop star THAT big anymore.

I was going to say Madonna but she'll probably outlive us all.

Madonna still wouldn't come close to MJ, since she's a woman and her appeal is much more limited.

But yeah, she's not going anywhere.

6. Someone Like You

Whitney's song better remain on top after the Grammy effect.

With the tribute, I think she'll stay at #1.

10. Rolling in the Deep - ADELE

Someone Like You is coming for Set Fire To The Rain

[Jennifer]

Once "Rolling In The Deep" wins SOTY & ROTY, it will fly past both of them. But then she'll perform "Set Fire To The Rain" and that'll jump over the other 2 again. LOL.

I bet by tonight / early tomorrow morning it'll look like:

1. I Will Always Love You
2. Rolling In The Deep
3. Set Fire To The Rain
4. Someone Like You

[RobynYoBank]

I think Adele could top Whitney with SFTTR if people are still here for the hype.
