Oh My God, you're actually right The song has been watched 70M+ this week worldwide, it's insane

I'm thiking maybe around 17.5M streams in total for the song, and that would put it at #3, if MJ wants another #1 to his legendary collection, he would need 29M streams at least

How many streams would it need to snatch #1?

It's a f*ckin' monster, I didn't see that coming. I checked on YouTube and it said that the video was around 128.4M on Tuesday, so I say 127.2M for the start of the week is true. We're not worthy. It's like going to pull 80M worldwide

What kind of legend?

Whitney came close to going back to #1 in 2012 (which was impressive because streams weren't included), but it just goes to show how powerful this song is.

Wasn't streaming worth about the same last year? Harlem Shake is when YT started being counted. Why would it be so much bigger this year?

Michael Jackson's Thriller short film hits 200 million views on YouTube!


I mean, where are the crazy stats in this thread from? I would ASSUME that people on Twitter who are so excited that they would post stats would know their teas, and it sounds like Thriller was already 200 million before the tracking week started.

Let's keep this a secret from Micheal Jackson fans in the U.S. Or else they'll go crazy and add more views to the music video. I suggest to refrain from facebook/twitter/vine/instagram until Monday. LOL

So it was fake then?

Did this song ever go to #1?

Without Taylor, Sam Smith would be the best selling album this year. Coldplay is 20k ahead but he's selling much more each week and will pass them in a week or two.

[Ger-55]

Yeah, it must be a YouTube mistake

Oh well, I got excited for some minutes

[RainDreamer]

Where are these 80 million views yal'll are talking about coming from ?

I mean i watched it sometime this year and it was definitely over 150 million

That YouTube stats page does sometimes have an error of not upadating the numbers

[Stark]

So it's fake or it's real? I need SIO to be #1 this week

but youtube stats is telling us something else. Who's more credible? Twitter or youtube?

[fridayteenage]

Well, Billie Jean Current Views: 124,476,261
Statistics Views: 80,401,857
OMG it got 44 million views this week; it's going #2 behind Thriller!

They Don't Care About Us Current Views:129,588,488
Statistics Views: 107,225,131
OMG it got 22 million views this week; it's going #3!

The Way You Make You Feel Current Views: 90,989,297
Statistics Views: 69,753,857
OMG it got 21 million views this week; it's going #4!

MJ is just having an OMG huge week and is taking over the T10! Or...the Stats part is inaccurate, perhaps because they don't think anyone checks that ish or even knows it exists. Which is more credible?

Also the one for Bad it has 90 million views and the stats thing puts it at 56 million . I think it has something to do with the videos being older and stuff. Definitely a glitch.
