Comparison of Michael Jackson, Prince, and Jackson 5 tracks played per hour

    Also with updated information from the previous graph... Prince added in as a similar popularity artist. The Jackson 5 also gained scrobbles, and you can now see the lunchtime quiet spot.

    Tributes to the artist continue to flood in on his artist page (http://www.last.fm/music/Michael+Jackson)

      It'd be interesting to see if "Generic Party Type" songs are played more at the weekend, they most certainly are, but I like graphs =D

      @ swtrimmer, it did rise a little, but it just don't compare! Maybe when another one of the Jackson 5 die?

      You are the king of the pop. there is and there will be no replacement for you. Your loss took some part of my childhood, never come back again. I am so sorry.

      I miss you.

      If you would plot this on a logarithmic scale, you can compare the rise of MJ and of the Jackson 5 better.
