Michael Jackson Returns To His Career Peak
Michael Jackson spent much of his career as one of the bestselling musical artists of his era. He achieved feats that no other act before him had managed, both in terms of albums and singles. These days, most people access the music they love via platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and others, and while some legacy acts have gotten lost in the shuffle when it comes to streaming platforms, Jackson has not. His discography is flush with so many beloved tunes that listeners continue to stream them heavily.
The Essential Michael Jackson Returns to the Top 10
The Essential Michael Jackson, a compilation of some of the superstar's biggest hits, climbs this week on the Official Albums Streaming chart in the United Kingdom. The project lifts from No. 12 to No. 7, returning not only to the top 10, but reaching its loftiest placement ever.
Michael Jackson Soars Back to His Career Peak
No. 7 isn't just a high point for The Essential — it's the all-time peak for Jackson on the ranking as well. The compilation remains his only release to break into the top 10 on the streaming-only tally, and it has never climbed higher than seventh place.
Despite the fact that The Essential came out in 2005, it didn't hit No. 7 until November 2023. Since then, the set has come close to matching that position several times, but it never quite made it until this frame.
Michael Jackson Climbs on Every Chart
As streams of The Essential grow, the title rises on the only other roster on which it can currently be found in the U.K., the Official Albums chart. The singles collection pushes from No. 21 to No. 16 this frame. The compilation has previously ruled that list and still ranks among Jackson's No. 1s on the main albums tally.

Charlize Theron's Sweetest Quotes About Being a Mom to Daughters Jackson and August
Charlize Theron loves her kids more than anything. The actress adopted her daughters, Jackson and August, in 2012 and 2015, respectively, and has been gushing over her role as a mom ever since. "I do know that choosing to be a mom in my late 30s has been really great for me,' Theron told W Magazine in April 2015. 'It's given me perspective.' That same year, Theron explained during an interview with British Vogue that she 'always' wanted to have children, especially having a 'fair, tough and supportive' role model in her own mother, Gerda Maritz. Charlize Theron Shares Glimpses of Daughters in 'Spring Break Mode' at Disney World "Our family is everything,' Theron said. 'Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence." While appearing on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast in July 2025, Theron explained her decision to raise her kids alone. 'I think I'm raising my kids as a single mom because of, definitely, avoidance of things that I know I don't want and also understanding who I am fully and being honest with who I am and what I can give right now,' she said. 'Who I am, at the time that I wanted to be a parent, was not somebody who should be having kids with another person.' Keep scrolling to read Theron's sweetest quotes about her kids: Theron said that she "can't remember anything" from her life prior to becoming a mom. "I feel like it was always just meant to be what it is," she told E! News. "I knew that I would have to have my mom help me if I was going to do this as a single parent,' Theron told Elle. 'To not acknowledge [Martiz], in coparenting my children would be a lie. ... I would feel pretty alone if I didn't have a partner in crime in all of this.' Theron told Us Weekly exclusively about protecting her kids from mom shamers. "I just love my kids, I try to keep them as safe as possible,' she said. 'I try to support them as much as possible. I try to do what I think every other parent wants for their children, just [give them] a fair shot.' Theron recalled the day that she taught her daughter an important lesson during an appearance on the 'In Charge With DVF' podcast. "Two days ago I was in the car with my two girls, and my little one said something like, 'You need a boyfriend!'" the actress said. 'And I said, 'Actually, I don't. Right now, I feel really good,' and she's like, 'You know what, Mom? You just need a boyfriend. You need a relationship!'' Theron told her daughter that she was in a relationship with herself, which offered a major perspective shift. "She had this look in her eye like she had never really contemplated that that was even a possibility,' Theron continued. 'Her mind was blown, but I know that was the day that she realized there's a different possibility.' While Theron's daughters are becoming more 'independent,' Theron told Entertainment Tonight that her 'saving grace' was them joining her in bed for back scratches. 'So I still feel like I have the power," she explained. "But it is definitely happening. It's inevitable, right? They want to find themselves and be individuals." Charlize Theron Sits Front Row at Dior Pre-Fall Show With 7-Year-Old Daughter August "When my kids say, 'Mom, nobody makes pasta better than you,' nothing gets close to that," Theron told Harper's Bazaar, explaining that her career took somewhat of a backseat to her family. "I don't ever need them to be like, 'Oh, you're in that movie.'" She continued: "I am still carrying such a grudge that there's a mom in our circle who makes French toast that my kid raves about. And she's given me the recipe and I've tried it. ... I am way more driven by that stuff." Theron said that her 'job' as a mother is to teach her kids acceptance. 'I want [my kids] to grow up in a world where they know what it means to accept what's not you, what is different and love that, to not be scared of that, and to embrace it,' she said on Drag Race's 'Untucked' aftershow. 'I feel like we're living in a day and age where our words can so easily be weaponized against us.' The actress told that her kids are 'so embarrassed' by her. 'It's a lot of girl in our house. I'm just trying to keep my head above water, because they are smart and they are witty and they are firecrackers, but they do not go, 'Oh my god, Mom, you're so amazing.' They're like, 'Excuse me, I need. I want,'' she said. 'They're a**holes, but they're really nice. Other parents know what I'm talking about.' 'I swear in front of my kids because I feel like I am a responsible mom, but I also I am who I am,' Theron said during her 'Call Her Daddy' podcast appearance. 'I'm not ashamed of who I am. I also want to teach my kids that there are things for them to look forward to. They don't necessarily get to say that right now, but that's really fun because they're going to grow up and get to say what they want.'

Watch Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé Perform ‘II Most Wanted' for the First Time
Miley Cyrus joined Beyoncé onstage at the Stade de France in Paris on Thursday night for the live premiere of 'II Most Wanted.' The two friends, both dressed in shimmering gold outfits, held hands as they belted the duet to throngs of screaming fans. Though this marks the first guest on the Cowboy Carter tour, the appearance wasn't entirely a surprise — Cyrus, who was in France for Spotify's Billions Club Live — had been seen at soundcheck before the show. The duet originally appeared on Cowboy Carter, and this performance was the first time Beyoncé had performed it on the tour, which launched in Los Angeles in April and is set to run through July 26. More from Rolling Stone Beyoncé Thanks Paul McCartney for 'Writing One of the Best Songs Ever Made' La-Di-Da-Di! Eighties Hip-Hop Great Slick Rick Is Back With 'Victory' Miley Cyrus on How She Fixed Her 'Messy' Family Relationships After 'Dark' Decade 'To be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true,' Cyrus shared on X after the performance. 'Thank you for the opportunity to perform in Paris together & sing our song about friendship. To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could've imagined. As the finale to this trip supporting Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing '2 Most Wanted' with us was the ultimate firework.' She added, 'Thank you B. I'll be your shotgun rider for life. Big gratitude to the Cowboy Carter tour crew, you all were incredible for making this happen. Forever and always.' The track, co-written by the two artists, ended up on Beyoncé's country album after the 'Crazy in Love' singer hit Cyrus up to see if she might want to contribute. 'I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago,' Cyrus told W magazine last year. 'My mom would always go, 'I love that song so much.' So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. I told her, 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.''
