Michael Jackson has been gone for more than a decade, but his music hasn’t lost a bit of its luster. In fact, in many ways, it seems to be growing in popularity with each passing year. New generations keep discovering the King of Pop’s hits, while longtime fans continue streaming and buying his songs and albums in large numbers every day. Some of his albums chart fairly regularly, but the focus these days for the late star is on compilations, which keep his name on the weekly rankings.
Michael Jackson’s The Essential is Still Going Strong
One of Jackson’s most popular compilations is once again performing extremely well in the United Kingdom. It’s doing more than just hanging on, as this time around it helps him reach another incredible milestone.
The Essential by Michael Jackson currently appears on two important rankings in the U.K. The compilation album keeps at No. 9 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, which lists the most-played full-lengths on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. Amazingly, in the year 2025, Jackson once again claims one of the top 10 most-streamed titles in the country.
The collection also moves north to No. 14 (up from No. 17) on the all-encompassing Official Albums chart, which measures the most consumed albums across all formats. While a small rise may not seem like much, it’s on that tally where The Essential makes history and joins an elite group within the superstar’s own discography.
