I'm no fan of Scream, but what is going on with it's chart history? I used to avidly listen to the top 40 in 1995, but this single did not have three separate runs in its original chart performance. I do seem to remember restrictions on the number of formats permitted so perhaps one is a 12" or something, but the idea it had a 2 week run and climbed from 43 to 8 then disappeared, with a separate entry climbing from 57 to 19 is utterly ludicrous!!!!

It's highly likely that after he died the song did much better than it did back in 95, Man In The Mirror for example only became a #2 after he died

If you read the dates it charted for 19 weeks (consecutive) in 1995/1996

It charted again in 2006 when they re-issued the CD-single (2 more weeks).

It charted again in 2009 after his passing, mostly based on digital song sales (5 more weeks).

"somebodys watching me" by rockwell wasnt listed here or on billboard hot 100 . Its a featuring, why did the song miss the cut?

Michael Jackson was uncreadited on that song when it was released therefore the song isn't listed anywhere as his song.

Not true, They Don't Care About Us, Scream & This Time Around all included cuss words, which was unheard of for songs in that era
