Michael Jackson securing the first spot even after 17 years of his passing away is direct proof of his immense popularity, even among the younger generations. “He not only leads Justin Bieber and BTS, but also the newest sensation, Bad Bunny, who sits in the 4th spot with 4085 points. Taylor Swift, widely regarded as MJ’s successor, is at number 5 with 3100 points. Of course, the points for any artist peak around the release of any new single or album. But even after accounting for peaks, Michael’s 11K points stack up well against the top performers of today.” Says a report as per Hindustan Times.

Thalapathy Vijay’s blockbuster political entry stunned everyone after his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) swept the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections! While fans and the public expressed joy at his victory, surprisingly, Vijay had an emotional, low-key celebration alongside his family. The CM-designate instead chose a private moment and spent time with his parents and close relatives instead of a public spectacle.

Vijay who won from both the Perambur and Trichy East constituencies, went to his parents’ home in Chennai (after the results were officially declared). He took his father’s blessings, and later was surrounded by his family members, relatives and kids. The photos and videos from the celebration surfaced on social media, showing Vijay dressed in a simple white shirt paired with off-white pants. Many fans describe that over the years the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief built his character on ‘less by flair and more by persistence.’
