Michael Jackson vs The Beatles: Who's Biggest and More Popular Worldwide?

[@addisahaxton1933]

Michael Jackson is known and loved in every corner of the earth.

[@LO-mo5pg]

MJ was also a humanitarian and never failed to reach out to less fortunate people especially children. He is the best

[@eleanormedina6703]

@LO-mo5pg well you know how much he loved children. Too much.

Before the internet we know Michael Jackson songs. Bad beat it and black or white is very very famous in India. I am from South India. I came to know more about this great man and I respect Him. Heal the world song is like a devotional song to me. Whenever I find time I go for Videos about MJ.

[@mechajay3358]

This is not to diminish the Beatles and their influence, but when it comes to MJ his far more well-known around the world and it's time fans of other artists should realize the major impact he has had. Not to mention he ended up buying the Beatles music catalog.

[@goldenchildofra6432]

What people fail to understand is that Michael Jackson went through the wringer and the depths of hell with his career and personal life. He was the brightest star so naturally he was a moving target especially because he was a black man but despite all that Michael Jackson is still the greatest artist this world has ever seen. No one compares his talent was truly a gift from God. Michael used his music has an extension of himself and poured his soul into it. That's why his music breaks all barriers because he is the truth. I admire Michael Jackson so much...he was truly special ❤

[@mjforever]

Well said! Michael Jackson's talent and resilience truly make him the greatest

[@hannaz4617]

You are absolutely right! Well said. Michael had amazing healing power, radiance and aura!!!! ❤

[@hannaz4617]

The Beatles were basically trendsetters in music, but their influence is no longer as prominent. They were active for just ten years, from 1960 to 1970. On the other hand, Michael spent almost his entire life on stage. The remarkable thing about Michael is that no one in the world has ever been, or ever will be, able to dance like him. He had an incredible talent that allowed people to connect with their own emotions through his songs. Michael is undeniably the most talented artist in the world! ❤❤❤ Thank you MJ Forever for keeping Michael's legacy alive with your great videos!!! ❤❤❤

[@lamiadingle2011]

That LITERALLY is all that needs to be said

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

The 3 biggest of all time (Elvis, Beatles and MJ) happened when the music industry needed something new...literally Elvis there was no one like him before he arrived then for years afterwards the whole Elvis look and sound from most groups was to emulated him. Same with the Beatles, every band after them sounded _just like them_ both started off genres I suppose. MJ was very similar, the music industry was stagnant and it needed something. MJ came along and shook the world (I believe) *MORE* than the Beatles or Elvis. I mean the swathes of people that would appear if you whispered MJs name etc was insane. And MJs hysteria lasted all the way till his death (so muchhhhh longer than the other two). People are saying Taylor is next biggest thing, but nah she bringing nothing new to the table, no musical shift etc. And all the swifties saying her fans are like MJs hahahaha no they are *NOT* MJ was greeted with a guard of honour in every country he went to. Celebs were losing their shit over him. Thousands outside his hotel. He shut countries down. He was exceptional. Kissed by God.

Michael Jackson

[@Longlostpuss]

You're comparing a group of artists to one man, that pretty much answers your own question. Let's not forget that Michael was also already killing it as a child star before he even saw adult solo success and that was while he was being deliberately held back due to systemic racial biases that still existed back then and spilled onto media and TV. This has been well documented and already covered (thank you internet). Michael was more famous than the president at one point, you could ask a kindergarten who the president was and the kids would have to take pause, but ask them who Michael Jackson was and they'd blow the classroom door off answering their teacher. A fairer comparison would be Michael vs Elvis.......Michael won that too. And even the Beatles/Elvis success can be put down to black origins - Rock and Roll was founded by black artists, believe it or not. It's a black genre. Much of Elvis' influence came from the Pentecostal black performers, Rock n Roll was black. The hip shaking was a black creation in performing; Elvis took full advantage of it purely because the mainstream, or "popular culture" had not seen it before, because blacks weren't really allowed to showcase their talents internationally - this is exactly what Michael constantly fought for. People just have to cope, they tried everything to dethrone Michael, they did alot of damage, but it still hasn't worked because I catch so many people humming his songs to themselves who claim not to be fans and think he was guilty of all those heinous accusations just because they've been conditioned to think that way. Funnily enough, I had to set my colleague straight about this the other day, as they forget Michael was actually CLEARED of EVERY SINGLE COUNT. If Michael was really guilty and they wanted to get him, they would have got him! Not even a debate for me, Michael wins comfortably.

[@VedyanichevaMarina]

I can't put the Beatles on the same level as Michael. Michael is higher.⬆️❤

[@spenser6353]

You’re too young to know the Beatles. You can only speak for your generation

[@HhEeAaDd]

The world knows Michael’s songs word for word. Beatles fans know their songs word for word. When BAD was released, it was the 2nd best selling album of all time. Thriller & Bad alone outsell every Beatles album put together in real time. The Beatles continue to be the best selling BECAUSE they’re STILL constantly re-releasing the same old stuff, repackaging documentaries, etc. How many “greatest hits” albums do they have? Remastered versions? MICHAEL FOR THE WIN Paul McCartney’s biggest solo hit by the way was “Say Say Say” with guess who featured on the track. His “Ebony & Ivory” went to No.1 but was panned by critics, while Michael’s “Black Or White” was also No.1 & largely celebrated to this day.

Los Beatles fueron los primeros y esa es su grandiosa colaboración a la industria, muchos temas buenos puedes escuchar de ellos, me gusta la música solista de George Harrison pero... a Michael Jackson no puedo parar de escuchar, es una necesidad. La música de Michael tiene una magia y es tan perfecta, todos sus sonidos y su voz... para mí el mejor músico, más completo de todos los tiempos y ni hablar de su baile, sus ropas, su figura, no te cansas de Michael, es eterno. Hasta su contribución con otros cantantes haciendo coros, era un grande.

1. The Beatles inspired Michael Jackson so much so that in 1985 he bought their entire catalogue of songs for $ 47.5 million after aggressive bidding. 2. The best selling album of all time, Thriller, is on track (hopefully by on his birthday 29 August) to get 1 billion views on KZbin, becoming the 4th Michael Jackson video to achieve this milestone. 4 music videos from one artist to get billion+ views and that too in a year's time is the 40th Guinness World Record.

[@fabrizzio_rossi4618]

las canciones de Michael jackson, los Beatles y Bob Marley son las que más he escuchado desde que soy niño. Ellos son lo máximo. Es cierto, Michael Jackson causó un impacto muy fuerte; pero su trabajo no sólo fue musical. Él fue un fenómeno social. Algo de lo que nunca se ha hablado y que siempre me llamaba la atención de él fue su constante trabajo con los niños desfavorecidos del mundo. Esto es algo que él hacia desde muy joven, antes de todo su exito descomunal.. Ningún artista hace o hizo las cosas que él hizo.

What they did to MJ was a travesty. I sometimes wonder if it would have turned out the same had it been in today's world. or would it have been worse? Does anyone really think that with the success of "Thriller", which he regretted doing for spiritual reasons, he was guilty of anything they accused him of? I do not, but I did note that he was disrupting the music industry by buying catalogues. That was gonna hurt. and isn't it always about money? And odd, Prince too, was buying his own catalogues, built his own studio. hmmm. Where is he now?
