Think of the entire world in the 1980s and 1990s. There were about 6 billion people living on the planet.
Now, let this massive number truly sink in. An unbelievable 4.8 billion of those people were Michael Jackson fans. Nearly 80% of the entire earth knew his name. They danced to his incredible music. They idolized his every single move.
He started as a shy, nervous kid from a tiny house in Gary, Indiana. He was a quiet underdog. But he grew up to achieve pure, undeniable global domination.
From the busy streets of Tokyo to small villages in Africa, he was absolutely everywhere. He packed massive, sold-out arenas in Europe. Fans fainted in the crowds in South America. He was not just a pop star. He was a beautiful, planetary phenomenon.
