Michael Jackson Airplay Skyrockets
After Michael Jackson’s sudden death last week, his greatest hits and even some of his lesser known songs have earned nonstop radio airplay to honor his memory. According to Billboard, the late King of Pop’s airplay increased by 1735% from last week. Prior to his death, the singer’s hit ‘Rock with You’ was heard around 500 times in a week. But in the past week, 22 of Michael’s song were played over 1000 times! Leading in the airplay is ‘Billie Jean’ which places the track at number 51 among the titles for the past week. That’s not bad for a song that was released back in 1983.
