Ranking EVERY Michael Jackson Song (Entire Series)

[@Fthhtuu]

Butterflies at no.79 is a crime

[@christiandebetta]

Haha I agree. It’s been over a year since I made this list and I’ve been really curious to see what it would look like if I did it again. I’ve actually been listening to Butterflies a lot lately and it’s really grown on me. It’s definitely one of the most under appreciated tracks from MJ’s later albums.

[@Lyla_ally]

I really like how high She Drives Me Wild is I love that song!

[@caseyoutside]

Love this and respect the effort you put into it. And I've always loved She Drives Me Wild so awesome to see it at number 2

[@christiandebetta]

Thank you! Even a year later, it would still remain at 2 for me!

[@NPGLAMB]

I personally love “I can’t help it “ one of my soothing songs. But I can understand why someone wouldn’t like it

My Top 10 10.Monkey Business 9.For All Time 8.Shout 7.We Be Ballin 6. Im So Blue 5.Nite Line 4.We've Had Enough 3.Streetwalker Or Got The Hots 2.Someone Put Your Hand Out Honorable Nentions:Get It(Duet With Stevie Wonder),I Am A Loser,Why You Wanna Trip On Me,Throwing Your Life Away,Chicago 1945 1.Human Nature

[@christiandebetta]

Wow! This is the most interesting list I’ve seen to date! A lot of love for Invincible-era tracks, which is just awesome. A lot of unique songs in your top 10! Do you just prefer those outtakes to the hits (like Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, etc) or is there something about the hits you don’t like as much? I’d love to hear why! I’ve grown a newfound appreciation for I’m So Blue lately as well so I’m glad there’s others out there that have respect for it.

[@Yeagerbonebone]

Not a bad list. Mine would be: 10. Off the Wall 9. Billy Jean 8. Dirty Diana 7. Baby Be Mine 6. Smooth Criminal 5. Leave me Alone 4. They Don't Care About Us 3. Human Nature 2. A Place With No Name (remix) 1. Beat it

[@Stereotype23]

My top 10 off the top of my head: 1. Beat It 2. Black or White 3. Smooth Criminal 4. Remember the Time 5. Bad 6. Blood on the Dancefloor 7. Wanna be Startin' Somethin' 8. Baby Be Mine 9. Rock With You 10. Stranger in Moscow

[@MrNumber112]

Interesting, in your ranking there is no ballad before the 26th place. At the top: only "happy" songs. It would be fun to re-rank these songs in 20 years, I think there would be many differences. 😄 My ranking is radically different from yours, but not necessarily the one that everybody would expect. We are all different :) Here are 10 of my favorites: - Fall Again 😩 - Speechless 😷 - Heal the World ✋🌍🤚 - Little Susie (how can someone not like this song?!) - Will You Be There - Love Never Felt so Good - Who is It - Smooth Criminal - Thriller - Leave Me Alone and a little further... Man in the Mirror, Liberian Girl, Off the Wall, Human Nature, Wanna be Startin', You Rock My World ... and so many others... 😍

[@christiandebetta]

I’m with you there! I’d definitely love to revisit this at some point in the future. I think my tier list would change if I remade it today and it’s only been a few weeks/months depending on which video is being referenced. Leave Me Alone is such an underrated song. The music video is one of this best and arguably most creative while creating a fun, upbeat song with a more dark meaning to it. If Fall Again had a proper release, it would’ve done great numbers as well. His vocals are outstanding and I wish he would’ve fully finished it. I really like your list! It’s always cool hearing someone else’s rankings and why they appreciate some songs as opposed to others.

[@MrNumber112]

@@christiandebetta Your words make a lot of sense and I'm really glad we had this conversation. Thank you very much 👍

[@christiandebetta]

Haha anytime! It always makes my day!

[@Lyla_ally]

I do really like Little Susie and You Rock My World as well

[@3p1cgam3er5]

If One More Chance was on this list, where would you put it?

[@NPGLAMB]

Watching Michael dance while you talk is really funny

[@thekid1984]

Noticed you didn't mention every MJ song you missed his first 4 albums Got To Be There, Ben, Music & Me and Forever, Michael

[@christiandebetta]

Fair enough haha. It really is “ranking every adult MJ song” but I didn’t want to put that in the title. I also listen to all his adult work on the daily and haven’t heard his younger solo albums more than once and I thought it would be unfair to compare those considering his musical styles changed a lot throughout the years and I didn’t want to give a weak opinion on them. Someone mentioned I go back through those albums and the Jackson’s work and talk about/rank those so that’s something I believe I’ll get to at some point in the near future. Sorry if I misled you bro

[@thekid1984]

I understand I first discovered young Mike, j5, the jacksons back in 2012 so I know the whole discography by heart because I listen to them yearly and MJ daily of course we all know all of his adult albums beginning from off the wall to invincible you got 2 different ways you can hear his voice change while he's growing up it got deeper during j5s get it together, dancing machine and moving violation albums also mjs music and me and forever, michael albums it's a beautiful experience

[@beetle1087]

Forever, Michael has some of my fav songs I think it's far superior to his 00s+ years work

[@Ashyboi143]

I really hope he changed his opinion on man in the mirror and pyt. Putting them that low should be a crime

[@PhantomOfDarkness]

you should do the rankings of the ai songs too, I think there are some really good ones out there. some that sound pretty authentic.

[@FidgetMDCCLXIV]

Smooth Criminal, DSTYGE, and WBSS are my top 3. Then comes Billie Jean (everyone has this #1). Then comes two more from Bad, Speed Demon and TWYMMF. Then the title tracks of Dangerous and Bad, then Beat It, that’s my top 9 Then many Dangerous and Bad songs plus Thriller and Baby Be Mine competing for the 10th spot. (I don’t really like Off The Wall album)

[@christiandebetta]

Speed Demon getting some love! I really love the production and energy to it and I never understand why it gets so much hate. I like OTW but I just find it less experimental and although there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s get a little more repetitive than his other albums. I also just adore WBSS and really wish we could’ve seen it be performed live for This Is It, that instrumental is killer!

[@Lyla_ally]

I have to agree Off The Wall isn’t my favorite I only really like She’s Out of My Life

[@yousofalmghari2787]

Bruh of course you put Billie Jean at #1. This has to be hands down his most overrated song. There are so much better options ngl.

[@christiandebetta]

I find it to be really catchy and his live performances of it give it even more life. Which ones do you think are better?

[@yousofalmghari2787]

@@christiandebetta I unironically found thriller and beat it to be better. As well as rock with you, some songs on dangerous xscape, invincible, especially butterflies and whatever happens, and earth song. I still think billie jean is to 25-30. But I just find it to be boring.

[@yousofalmghari2787]

I don't think it's as overrated, I still really like the song, but there are other songs I prefer to this

[@tbonessteak2523]

come together at worst song is insane lol

[@christiandebetta]

It’s kinda hard to pick a “worst” song since all of MJ’s music is extremely good, so it’s more just personal preference. I listen to Come Together the least of all his tracks and while it’s objectively a good song, it’s just not really my favorite.

[@tracuśbs124]

Whatzupwitu is fake song or why ypu excluded that and one more chance😢

[@NPLXIV]

She Drives Me Wild is a good song. Uh HUH. I usually skip Billie Jean lol.

[@ZhyBeth]

[@michaelone9475]

Keep The Faith over Childhood?? Keep The Faith is mid. Childhood is great

[@PrettyboyAshtun]

wow this list is um…

[@nicholaswareham5497]

I have to be honest and say that I’m my opinion you are way off! I mean this is is, xscape and scream are way way too high! Genius like stranger in Moscow earth song keep the faith will you be there no where near high enough and she drives me wild at No2 oh my word 🙈🙈🙈lol But I do like hearing your opinions ✌️

[@christiandebetta]

Haha I have a thing for SDMW even knowing that putting it that high would catch me some heat. I’ve really come around on Earth Song as of late and man the demo is just so killer as well. I appreciate the kind comment my guy!

[@UnkownDevil06]

Little susie for me is his worst song.

[@amuchan21]

I agree, It's very dark and super creepy at the beginning

[@UnkownDevil06]

@@amuchan21 right! I can’t listen to that song without cringing hard. However I love almost every single other song he’s made. Just that one, creeps the hell out of me…

[@MusicFan.....]

I 100% agree with this statement.

[@MusicFan.....]

Yeah that and 2000 Watts are his worst in my opinion.

[@christiandebetta]

Haha very valid. I like his storytelling in the song but not much besides that.

[@NPGLAMB]

Beatles did come together much better
