Halloween may be behind us, but apparently the charts had other plans! Last week’s results gave us an impressive Halloween resurgence, yet it turns out that not all the impact had been reflected in the US charts just yet. This week, Billboard delivers the missing piece, and what a spectacular one it is!
Michael Jackson’s Thriller has exploded to #2 on the Billboard 200, while the iconic single has climbed to #2 on the Hot 100. Michael himself jumps from #7 to #2 on the Billboard Artist 100, with Thriller also claiming #1 positions in Billboard Vinyl Albums, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Top R&B Albums, Digital Songs Sales and Streaming Songs. Even Scream is back on the charts!
Looking back at the same period last year, the difference is remarkable. In November 2025, Thriller was #16 on the Billboard 200, its single stood at #10 on the Hot 100, and Michael Jackson was #15 on the Artist 100. This year, all three are dramatically higher, showing just how powerful the renewed interest in Michael Jackson has become.
Internationally, however, the picture is more mixed. The UK and several European markets are experiencing a post-Halloween cooldown, with Thriller and other classics losing ground or dropping out of singles charts. Yet the album continues to perform strongly in several territories, and the digital rankings tell another fascinating story.

What a phenomenal week for Michael Jackson in the United States! The delayed Halloween impact has delivered some truly historic-looking chart positions, with Thriller reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Hot 100, while Michael Jackson rises to #2 on the Artist 100. The return of Scream across several Billboard charts and the continued presence of The Jackson 5 Christmas Album also show that the interest extends well beyond a single song.
The international charts are naturally beginning to settle after Halloween, particularly in the UK, where Thriller has lost its momentum on several singles rankings. Nevertheless, its continued album presence across Europe, alongside re-entries in countries such as Austria, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Switzerland, demonstrates that the Halloween effect has not disappeared entirely.
And the digital results? Simply incredible! Thriller is #1 on YouTube in the United States, #4 in the UK, #3 in Iceland and remains firmly in the Top 20 across numerous countries. It is a reminder that Michael Jackson’s music continues to connect with audiences worldwide, long after the Halloween decorations have been put away.
Until next week, keep streaming, keep listening, and keep celebrating Michael Jackson’s extraordinary musical legacy!
