MICHAEL JACKSON'S TOP 50 BILLBOARD HITS
MICHAEL JACKSON: THE BILLBOARD COVER STOTY 2010
Billboard's tally of Jackson's 50 top titles, which features songs from his complete catalog, including solo recordings, collaborations and classic hits with the Jackson 5, was compiled from songs' chart performances on the weekly Billboard Hot 100. Songs were ranked based on an inverse-point system, i.e., weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.
(Eras were weighted to ensure a balanced representation of titles, as the formula used to compute the weekly Hot 100 and turnover rates for songs on the survey have varied from decade to decade).
"Say Say Say" earns the list's coveted top spot as Jackson's best-performing Hot 100 chart single. His duet with Paul McCartney led the list for six weeks beginning in December 1983. The pair also ranks at No. 10 with "The Girl Is Mine," the first single from Jackson's "Thriller," the best-selling studio album of all-time (29 million), according to the Recording Industry Association of America. The cut peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for three weeks in January 1983.
"Billie Jean" places as Jackson's second-biggest single. While the song spent one more week at No. 1 and two more weeks on the Hot 100 than "Say Say Say," the latter title totaled more weeks than the former track in the top 10 (13/11), top 20 (16/12) and top 40 (18/17).
The evergreen 1970 Jackson 5 ballad "I'll Be There," which topped the Hot 100 for five weeks in 1970, is Jackson's third-biggest hit, followed by "Beat It," a three-week Hot 100 No. 1 in 1983 from "Thriller," at No. 4. Jackson's first Hot 100 leader of the 1980s, "Rock With You," which ruled for four weeks in 1980, ranks as his fifth-biggest single on the survey.
The Jacksons' "Dancing Machine," a No. 2-peaking Hot 100 hit in 1974, places at No. 6 and Jackson's 1988 solo No. 1 "Man in the Mirror," from his "Bad" album, claims the No. 7 spot. Despite the latter title's higher peak on the weekly Hot 100, "Dancing Machine" ranks higher on this list due to its having totaled more weeks on the chart (22/17), in the top 40 (16/13) and in the top 10 (9/7).
The Jackson 5's debut No. 1 Hot 100 smash "I Want You Back" ranks as the No. 8 title of Jackson's catalog. The song kicked off Jackson's Hot 100 resume, having debuted at No. 90 on the chart dated Nov. 15, 1969. He has graced Billboard charts in all six decades since that first frame.
The Jackson 5's 1970 Hot 100 No. 1 "ABC" ranks at No. 9, one rung above "The Girl Is Mine."

You'll probably never get this letter
Michael, I wrote you a hundred times before
Knowing how I feel, I'll write a hundred more"
"Dear Michael, everytime your records on
Michael, I close my eyes and sing along
Dreaming you're singing to me"
And then she wrote
"Michael, I love you
I've held tears back long as I can
I'm sealing my feelings in this envelope
Cause I wanna be more than just your number one fan
I'm gonna answer your letter
I'll start beginning with the ABCs of loving you
Your letter really touched my heart
I've been dreaming of meeting the picture
That you sent along, signed with all your love
(Michael, Michael)
(I want you)
(She wrote)
I'm gonna write you back
Ooh, I promise you that
Girl, I think I love you
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter
Tell her her I love her
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter
Tell her I love her

Randy has been on Twitter attack, calling the auction at Planet Hollywood in Vegas "distasteful."
Darren Julien from Julien's Auctions claims it's pure coincidence the auction falls on June 25 -- "We have the same summer auction [of pop star memorabilia] at the same time every year."
Julien says the auction date can't be moved. So there.
Certainly the will stipulates that the money, the children will get when they reach 30 years of age. By then, of course, the interest amount will exceed 300 million dollars!! Not bad ...
The mother of Michael Jackson gets 40% of its assets, while the remainder will go to charitable institutions.
Naturally, Jacko did not leave anything to his father, which had no good relationships, but none of the siblings.
Dr. Conrad Murray took a $16,000 hit today -- when officials rejected his request to relieve the massive child support debt he owes his baby mama.
Murray -- who practices medicine in Nevada -- had worked out a deal with Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, in which they'd back off from revoking his license ... if he could convince a California court to forgive the $16,000 in back child support he owes in Cali.
But today, a judge in California turned down the request -- which means Murray's license is still very much in danger.
And check this out -- a hearing was scheduled to be in Nevada for June 25th ... exactly one year after Murray allegedly pumped Michael Jackson full of a deadly dose of Propofol.

Dr. Conrad Murray has fans ... with whipped cream on top.
Murray -- who's due in court next month in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case -- was corralled by a fan Wednesday at a Houston Starbucks.
She gave us the pic but asked us to blur her face.
It's all about taking precautions.

without you I feel like
I'm in a world with no love.
I wish I could go to sleep,
just to see you in my dreams.
I just want to hold you
in my arms.
Everybody says what we have
is lust, but its love.
People can say what they want,
but all I know is we were ment to be.
Not a day goes by without me thinking
about you.
You are my love,
no matter what.
Baby you gotta know my love for you is
for all time.
So I have to say
baby be mine and I'll give you
all I have to give,
which will be till ther end of time.
I LOVE you
Michael Joseph Jackson.

Michael Jackson's most loyal fans are taking to the skies in order to send a message to Doc Murray -- and the plan is set to take flight the next time Murray is set to appear in court.
A group of fans have raised $1,250 to fly an airplane banner over the L.A. County Superior Courthouse between 1-2pm on April 5 ... when Dr. Murray is next scheduled to show his face.
The sign will read "We demand justice for Michael Jackson" -- and the group is so fired up about it, they've already sent out a press release with a Photoshopped image of what they think the scene will look like.
The same group of fans has already raised enough cash to buy Paris Jackson a birthday surprise ... she turns 12 next week.
