That title is pretty trollish.

Some of Bad Thing's achievements so far:
Decade’s third T8 song without a 100k-selling week, after Streaming #1s Gentleman and Dope
Decade’s first 3+ week T10 without a 100k-selling week

This record is dumb. Michael Jackson doesn't have a song in the top 10, since he doesn't exists anymore.

"Love Never Felt So Good" by Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake jumps from #22 to #9 in its third week on the Hot 100. This makes Jackson the only artist in Hot 100 history to land a top 10 hit in each of five decades. He passes five artists who have notched top 10 hits in each of four decades: Barbra Streisand, Cher, Aerosmith, Madonna and Whitney Houston.

Making this even more amazing, if you combine Jackson's solo hits with his hits with the Jackson 5, he has made the top 10 in each of six decades. The J5's debut hit, "I Want You Back," first made the top 10 the last week of 1969.

As Billboard's Gary Trust notes, Jackson also sets a new record for the longest span of top 10 hits in Hot 100 history. He first cracked the top 10 (as a solo artist) in November 1971 with "Got To Be There." This week's chart is dated May 31, which gives him a 42 year and six month span of top 10 hits. He passes Santana, whose top 10 hits span 33 years and eight months.

"Love Never Felt So Good" is Jackson's 29th top 10 hit. Since the Hot 100 began in August 1958, only two artists have amassed as many or more top 10 hits: Madonna (38) and the Beatles (34). This is Jackson's 40th top 10 hit if you add in eight top 10 hits with the Jackson 5 and three with the re-named the Jacksons. It's Timberlake's 16th top 10 hit (his 22nd if you add in six *NSYNC hits).

This is Jackson's fourth top 10 hit on which he shared billing, following "The Girl Is Mine" and "Say Say Say" (both with Paul McCartney) and "Scream" (with Janet Jackson). (Siedah Garrett sang an uncredited backup vocal on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You"). (...)

Michael... the only real important artist on the hot 100.

This just doesn't sit well with me for some reason. Congrats to him, but he didn't really do it. It's highly likely he wouldn't have ever wanted this song to even be released. Like, they're trying to keep the king alive, but really they're just using his name to make money and making creative decisions that he didn't approve. Not cool, imo.

That's not fair to assume. He was happy to release Thriller 25 with a cleaned up demo or two, we have no idea what he would have released if he were alive.

Is there any record of entering hot100 5 years after the artist's death?

Epic!
