Nice! The relatively high placements of Push Me Away and Keep The Faith jumped out at me. I think both tend to be underrated.

This is a GREAT list, some really good choices, your Top20 is flawless and I love that you have Is it scary at #1, TWYMMF is a respectable #12 and Break of Dawn also gets top 10 action. Lots of Off the Wall and Thriller songs right up there.
And yes a preliminary calculation shows that Who is its, low place of 15th will give it only 86 more points taking it 946/1000, knocking it out of 1st place overall, with TDCAU getting 93 points and moving up to 952/1000.

I think this is maybe the most removed list from my own. Not saying that means it's wrong. But it's wrong...

Is this the first list with WII outside the top 10?
Number 15 is still a respectable position though. Has anyone placed TDCAU out of the top 10 yet?

Hollywood Tonight over Jam? Are you sure? I saw Jam languishing somewhere in the 70s and immediately thought of you Tony.

Just curious mjjfan810, given your fondness for the 80s tracks it is surprising to see Is It Scary at #1. What is it about the song that makes you rank it at the very top?

Is this the first list with WII outside the top 10? Number 15 is still a respectable position though. Has anyone placed TDCAU out of the top 10 yet? One person gave it a 12th place Who is it, got a 13th place and this 15th place is the lowest yet and the 9th place it got in the last list pushed it under TDCAU. However Who is it has no real danger of slipping to 3rd as Billie Jean is about 25 points lower. Who is it would have to fall out of the Top 30 to reach 3rd place next week and Billie jean would have to be #1 on list 11. In the latest list, out of 1000 points only 5 songs reached the 900s, and then only 2 in the 800s, the next two songs got 796 and 798. These top ranking songs have set out by themselves, even songs in the teens have received some ow placings. To reach Top 10 you need to get over 786 points Top 20 you need only 645 points Top 50 you need only 426 points Top Half of the list (89th place) - 211 points Any more info you will have to wait for my updates on my charts thread.

I adored Is It Scary from the first moment I heard it and it still gives me the "feels" today. I think the lyrics are some of the best he has ever written and the power of his vocal delivery is just incredible. I also love how self-aware it is. It's the first time I realised that far from being out of touch, MJ knew exactly what some people thought about him and Is It Scary celebrates his eccentricities and turns the mirror back onto those who are so eager to judge and criticise. I just think it's so clever in that regard.
I was tempted to go for a song from OTW-Thriller-Bad as my top spot, as they are all perfect albums and I wouldn't change a single note of them. I've said before on this board, I'm not the biggest fan of MJ's post-80s albums, but I do love selected tracks. I always loved the new songs on BOTD and felt that it was his strongest set of songs outside of the 80s.

Interesting list.
I've always loved Is It Scary, and can easily see how it could be someones all time favourite MJ song.
