Michael Jackson holds the distinction of being the first and only artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in every decade since the 1970s. The “King of Pop” has maintained a presence on the Hot 100 across six different decades. His charting history includes 11 songs in the 1970s, 20 songs in the 1980s, 12 songs in the 1990s, four songs in the 2000s, four in the 2010s, and one in the 2020s.
Most recently, Michael Jackson appeared on the charts with the song “Chicago,” which debuted at number 30 this week. This track was originally featured on the 2014 album, Xscape, a release that occurred following the star’s passing in 2009. “Chicago” joins other songs from the Xscape album that have charted, including “Love Never Felt So Good” with Justin Timberlake, which reached number 9, and “Slave to the Rhythm,” which peaked at number 45.
The song “Chicago” was produced by Timbaland and JRoc and written by Cory Rooney. Jackson’s enduring charting success solidifies his unique position in music history.
