Michael Jackson's official channel reaches 42 million subscribers
The milestone arrives with a sharp subscriber jump and an archive that also offers a nonstop station of his short films.
Why this story? The channel is adding 99,998 subscribers a day, 17 times a normal day (5,956).

Next story: Michael Jackson adds another 100,000 subscribers
Michael Jackson's music videos don't have to be watched one at a time. His official channel introduced "Michael Jackson: The Station" in April, offering a nonstop stream of the short films that made choreography and storytelling part of his music's identity.
That continuous-play doorway into the catalog sits alongside a new milestone: the channel has reached 42 million subscribers, adding roughly 100,000 in a day. That's far above its usual daily increase of a few thousand, though there is no clear link between the jump and any particular upload.
The Station is a different proposition from choosing "Billie Jean" or "Beat It" from the archive: the description promises a running program rather than a single song. April also brought "Michael Jackson - Human Nature (Official Video)," while the most recent upload listed on the channel is August's birthday celebration. This subscriber milestone arrives without a fresh November release accompanying it.
