Michael Jackson’s Facebook Page Becomes First to Reach 10 Million Fans
One month after Michael Jackson passed away, his Facebook Page has become the first (by a big margin) to reach 10 million fans.
Fans from around the world are continuing to leave Wall posts in honor of the music legend and upload new photos to the Page. In addition, the most recent updates from the Page’s official administrator have received nearly 50,000 likes and several thousand comments each.
However, while the Page’s administrator was updating the Page at least daily through July 17, there hasn’t been an update in nearly 10 days. While Facebook Pages are effective tools for businesses and celebrities to reach their audiences, what happens when celebrities pass away? How long into the future will the administrators and fans of the Michael Jackson Page still be posting content?
Before Jackson’s death, the singer had about 800,000 fans on Facebook, while Barack Obama’s Page had the most Facebook fans at 6.4 million. Today, Jackson’s Page is the first in history to cross 10 million, while Obama’s Page still has the second most at nearly 6.5 million, followed by Vin Diesel and Megan Fox, according to PageData.

I love that Michael Jackson is receiving this sort of recognition by the world. He was a good person, though he had faults just like everyone else. It’s just his faults were on full blast for the world to see. After all that he has been through, he deserves some love. I hope he is now truly at peace. My heart still aches for him.

Michael Jackson passed away in a deep deep sleep so peacefully, and that should be how good human being leaves the earth. Michael did not bear grudges against all despair that were so unfairly decended on his image but chose to be calm. It is without doubt that Michael Jackson will be remembered in all the hearts of the GOOD human being. Peace in one’s mind, speak good from one’s mouth then one will not perish in an unhealthy manner.

If everyone in this world could love and not hide love, when your time has come to be called upon to rest, you bring along with you in exchange for love is PEACE. This is dedicated to Michael Jackson in heaven with the good lord.

August 26th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
mj was the best entertainer in all the world, his heart, and generosity will be remembered for all time, what he done for underpriviledged and forgotten children, the sick and illnesses of children was his greatest voice for helping children to feel better about themselves and not be ashamed of what or who they are. he was a remarkable human being and will be sorely missed by all. RIP mj and love to your family and children so they can heal.
