The short film Smooth Criminal reached an incredible 800 million views on YouTube. It should have a lot more as it's the MJ video with the fastest growing numbers (even faster than Billie Jean). I think the reason why it's not over 1 billion yet is that until a few years ago there was a very popular fan upload of it on YouTube that cannibalized the numbers on the official channel.

It also doesn't help that there were so many different versions available to water down the numbers: Official channel version Moonwalker HD rip Laser disc rip Upscaled 4K Sped Up promo version
I'm sure there were many more.

That's amazing. And it would've been even higher if the estate had released something physical that was more appealing to the fanbase.

There must have been some kind of shift in the MJ songs on Spotify (In Ireland at least) Last week, Number Ones (which has been quite consistent on our charts since year zero, it may slip out of the top 100 very rarely) was 61 but has disappeared this week only to be replaced by The Essential zooming in to 36, which is higher than I've seen Number Ones in recent years. www.irma.ie/#chartTab2Irish people en masse did not collectively decide to jump from Number Ones to Essential on Spotify. Unless we did?...
