so, in my timezone, it is currently the 25th of june 2026, and if you’re an mj fan, you know its mj’s death anniversary.
originally, i wasn’t gonna say or post anything today because ive always felt as though this day was meant to be more spiritual and calm than anything, but i think mj deserved to be honoured in multiple ways today.
due to the biopic, mj has become a trend again, and in my opinion, he should have always been a trend, but the bad thing with trends is that there is always someone ready to bring it down. for michael jackson, he always had people trying to bring him down, and sadly, on this very day, they did, but only physically. i think mj lives on because people know the truth, what he did, who he really was, and i think kindness is the one things people never forget.
continuing with the slightly emotional tone 😭, michael inspired me in many ways, and his inspiration hit many people. i have never seen anyone bring black people, white people, asians, south americans, and more, together, quite like mj did. i have never seen someone spread happiness quite like mj did, and i think thats something that most people wish they had, and those that dont try to downgrade and hate on michael as much as they can. so, to celebrate michaels life, i wont only mention how he was innocent and free of all charges, or how he treated everyone with utmost respect, or how he helped child actor Macaulay Culkin heal from all his childhood trauma, or how he shaped music, or how he donated billions to charity and people in need, or how even though those that surrounded him were evil, he was never evil back, or how he never touched those children.
instead, ill mention the things he would have wanted to be remembered by. the things he worked hard to get.
michael jackson’s thriller is the best selling album of all time (still is) and sold over 70 million copies worldwide
michael jackson is the only artist in history to have #1 hits on the US billboard hot 100 across 1970s–2010
dangerous (1991) sold 14 million copies in just 37 days, becoming the fastest-selling album of its era.
michael jackson is one of the first, if not the first, black male artist to be shown on MTV
michael jackson won 8 grammys one night, and no one has beaten that record yet.
michael’s donations and kindness were so big that he ended up in the guisness book of world records (he is also in said book due to his title of ‘most succesful entertainer’)
michael jackson co-wrote ‘we are the world’, and raised over $63 million for african famine relief.
at just 11 years old, michael jackson became the youngest vocalist to top the US singles chart with the hit ‘i want you back’
but most importantly, michael jackson is still one of the most loved and admired and missed people.
so, in conclusion, on this sad day, i want us to focus on celebrating michael’s life more than grieving his death, because his life is so wonderful and we can all learn a lot from it, because we didn’t lose one of the best people on earth for nothing.
i deeply hope that he is in a better place now, and i send my kindest regards to the jacksons and to everyone out there who is thinking of mj!
