Damir Simon says Michael Jackson still number one.

By Damir Simon

Many of us love to listen to music while doing different things during our day. We love different artists and their style of music. We all know who Michael Jackson is. Should the title of the King of Pop still be his?

Michael Jackson is a well known singer for his albums like Thriller, Dangerous, BAD, etc and his dance moves, especially his most remarkable move the moonwalk. His name is known everywhere around the world with the topic of music and people still listen to his music till this day.

Jackson’s music through the years has made a big impact on the music industry. It has inspired artists to do different things to music and even do music for a career. For example, within his songs his music set examples on how to make music. People will use samples of his music to make a song due to his style and how it would make their songs good. Michael Jackosn gets a lot of credit for his music and how people use it.

In today's music and artists there are medals and achievements that haven't been accomplished or passed by other artists. But, Michael Jackson has broken some records through his time that haven’t been touched still to this day. For example, his album Thriller is the best selling album of all time with sales of 70 million. Also, he is the first and only artist to have five of his solo albums sell over 20 million copies worldwide.

Some people would think that there are other artists who should have the title, the king of pop. A famous artist like Harry Styles was given the title after winning at a music awards for best album. But I think that the title should stick with Micahel Jackosn because of how much work he put in his music that he earned his title. He has made impacts and inspired artists like Beyonce to become the singers that they are. With his broken records it sets an example of how talent pays off.

The title of the King of Pop is earned and Michael Jackson earned the title from his work. It shows how his talent was a different talent and his title will always be kept.
