Michael Jackson’s hit’s album “Number Ones” went number one on the British national music chart. Previously, it was standing as far as the 121 place can be, but after the recent tragic events things have changed unbelievably quickly. Before, the first spot was occupied by Kasabian and it’s album “West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum”, but it just could not resist the wave of sentiments coming from every corner right now. So often death of an icon, which was not so popular anymore or was shadowed by so many unpleasant scandals, suddenly makes that icon universally big again. Also, the first ten includes “Thriller”, “King of Pop”, “Off the Wall” and “The Essential”. Besides that, British people began to show an intereset towards Jackson’s singles among which are “Man in the Mirror”, “Thriller”, “Billie Jean”, “Smooth Criminal”, “Beat It” and “Earth Song”. All of these infamous singles are within the first forty hits. Currently, a lot of people identify Jackson with an era, which was long gone (even though it was just in the 80’s and early 90’s), but now everything what may be dealing with this figure sort of comes back. The king of pop had returned for a certain period of time in order to remind of himself, probably for the last time.
