#80 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown!
Welcome back to VJ Samsonite's top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown! Today     we are presenting #80 of the top 100 countdown, and starting to  really   get into it! And the song is...Wanna Be Startin'  Somethin' by the King of Pop himself Michael Jackson. Now  if you don't know who Michael Jackson (R.I.P.) is than I can't help you  out. For those of you who don't know much MJ-trivia, he was born in  Gary, Indiana in 1958, and he was 50 years old when he passed away just  last year on June 25th (almost a frickin year already!!) in Los Angeles  California. You might find it interesting to know that Madonna and  Prince both also turned 50 years old last year, officially being the Queen  and Prince of Pop during the 80's with recently deceased King  M.J.. Now I know that there has been speculation about who will be the  next, but as far as I am concerned no one currently can sit in the  throne, so its empty until someone who really "has it" comes along. I  have heard people say they think that Lady Gaga is making her way  as the next Queen of Pop, however I remain skeptical on that one as I  reckon you have to be extremely prolific and consistent with pop-hits  over an extended period of time to take the throne, not that Lady Gaga  isn't capable of this, but it remains to be seen. This discussion has me  on a bit of tangent so back to the topic at hand. Wanna Be Startin  Somethin, was the first track of Jackson's epic Thriller  album which won Jackson a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984,  including Album of the  Year, and numbers are uncertain but it has been  estimated as having sold approximately 78-110 million copies worldwide  as of 2009. Shockingly enough youtube actually allows posting of the  actual music video, so enjoy.
