Michael Jackson's iconic hit 'Billie Jean' has once again captured the attention of music lovers worldwide as it re-enters both of Billboard's global charts this week. Despite being over 40 years old, the enduring popularity of the track is evident through its resurgence in streaming and sales figures.
'Billie Jean' has secured a spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 198, marking its highest position on the global rankings this week. Additionally, the song has also made an appearance on the Billboard Global 200, claiming the 199th spot on the list.
The Billboard Global 200 is a weekly compilation of the most popular songs based on a combination of streams and sales data from around the world. Similarly, the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart follows the same methodology but excludes data from the United States.

The song's enduring appeal serves as a testament to Michael Jackson's lasting impact on the music industry, with fans continuing to appreciate and engage with his timeless music even years after his passing.
