I don’t really have a bone in this fight - I’m not especially a Michael Jackson fan or a Beatles fan. It’s like arguing about Superman vs Thor or whatever.
Alt-rock / pop punk, folk, symphonic metal, and EDM/techno/electronica edging into trashy euro synthpop are my mainstays.

Single best selling album (and it’s not close - the Beatles don’t have anything that cracked 40M and Thriller hit 70M), ties the Beetles for 3 albums over 30M, and then beats them again 5-3 for albums over 20M
