Michael Jackson reaches 1 billion views on YouTube with iconic video ‘Smooth Criminal’

Are we surprised?

Michael Jackson, the world’s only King of Pop from the twentieth century, has crossed one billion views on ‘Smooth Criminal’ on YouTube — a digital platform that didn’t exist when he started. According to Chart Data, other music videos with more than one billion views on the website/app are ‘Billie Jean’, ‘They Don’t Care About Us’, ‘Beat It’, and ‘Thriller’. Could you imagine how many views he would have had if YouTube existed back then?
