Michael Jackson’s post-death popularity continues to grow: analytics firm Visible Measures says his Thriller video has now been watched more than 299 million times online, with 80 million of those coming in the last month. It’s now the third most-watched online video of all time, and poised to overtake Beyonce’s Single Ladies video (314 million), and although it’s still got a way to go to catch Souljah Boy’s Crank Dat video’s 487 million views, it looks likely to happen in the next few months.
