Michael Jackson is proving once again that great music never goes out of style.

Full story below.

The King of Pop’s seminal album 1982 album ‘Thriller’ has skyrocketed back onto the Billboard 200, re-entering at # 7 this week with 45,000 units sold (a massive 425% sales jump from the previous week).

A surge fueled by momentum from the ‘Michael’ biopic, which has already crossed $400 million in its opening two weeks.

And it’s not just ‘Thriller’ getting love; his entire catalog is climbing again – pulling in major streams on Spotify. 

Look below to see who joins him on the updated Billboard 200.

Jackson’s rebound isn’t limited to the Billboard 200, however, as the classic ‘Thriller’ cut ‘Billie Jean’ hopped to #38 on the updated Hot 100 this week.

There’s already speculation about a ‘Michael’ biopic part two, and with numbers like this and songs re-entering multiple Billboard charts, it’s safe to say a sequel would be set up for major success for other entries in his prized catalog.
