As you know, today is “Drop Dead if You’re Famous” Day (no disrespect).
I just noticed. Since this morning, Michael Jackson now holds 8 of the top 10 videos downloaded on iTunes. 8. This morning I had glanced at them, thinking “Wow, Lady GaGa has 3?! That’s a lot! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that many!”
Eight. 8. Eight. 8.
Out of 10.
That’s HUGE. In one day, even. Sure, he’s a superstar, but wow. He’s even got more spots in the top 20.
The weird part is that he’s knocked out some massive videos, ones that have some star power behind themselves, such as the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling,” as well as some videos that have been on the list for months, like “I’m On A Boat” and “Poker Face.”
Notably, GaGa’s “Paparazzi” (an 8-minute train-wreck revenge murder/soft porn psychosis video for a 3-minute stalking song) holds the 6th spot as of posting, and “One Time” by Justin Bieber is 10th.
I’m shocked. I guess it’s true, though, that you reach a new level of fame in death, one unattainable in life. This is a very powerful example supporting that idea.
Eight. 8.
