MJ fans have taken over on Twitter and other social media platforms on the occasion of Michael Jackson’s 62nd birth anniversary. The hashtag #1Billion4MJ is running globally to make “Bille Jean” the first-ever MJ video to touch 1 Billion views on YouTube.
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has ruled over the pop and R&B genre for five decades, from the formation of Jackson Five in the late ‘70s until his demise on June 25, 2009. The unrivaled star, who paved a new path for the upcoming generations of POP music, had left no award to win and no owner to be bestowed in the musical universe.

The song itself has garnered several records over the records, it was certified 6x Platinum by RIAA and sold 10M+ copies across the Globe. “Billie Jean” impacted MJ’s career significantly as it was the first music video of a black artist to be aired by MTV. Not only that, but the astonishing Moonwalk of Michael Jackson was also performed for the first time on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever TV special.
As of the time of this report “Bille Jean” has crossed 826 million views and currently stands on the number 826,008,906. The views are increasing drastically over ever minute and it feels like just a matter of time to knock the 1 Billion target before 29th August 2024.
Fans across the globe are participating in this target as a tribute to the star. Many people are sharing heartfelt comments and love for MJ, a lot of his pictures of special moments are also taking over the Internet.
With 174 million views more to go, the target seems very much achievable and it would be something of a birthday gift for sure.
