Michael: The Most-Downloaded Artist in History

What makes a truly great artist? The King of Pop continues to set new standards for answering this question. Having spent his entire life as a record-holder of various titles, he doesn’t stop setting records even after his death. According to new reports, Michael Jackson is the most-downloaded artist in history. No other artist’s songs are downloaded as much as Michael Jackson’s. Geoff Roberts, a music expert, from the Nokia music store that carried out this study, says: “Michael Jackson has always been a legend of pop music. But the anniversary of his death and his birthday has kept the flames of his fans burning even hotter. Michael Jackson is the most popular artist in history.” In setting this record, Michael surpassed Lady Gaga, Elvis Presley, Black Eyed Peas, and Rihanna—who are also among the most-downloaded. It’s said that download statistics were higher in Indiana, his birthplace (26% of the country’s total downloads), and therefore he is more popular in that state. After that comes the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Finland. Source: eMJey / hollyscoop.com
