Can you actually comprehend English, Tekenq? You're telling someone who was actually pointing out the best method available, to get MJ updated, to STFU!? Maybe you should actually pay heed to what he said, as oppose to castigating him and just being offensive, for no apparent reason.
Dirty Diana surpassed 200 Mio.on Spotify, his 17th song to do so
Bad surpassed 300 Mio. on Spotify, his 12th song to do so
Spotify:
The way xou make me feel, 400 Mio. 9th song over 400 Mio.
They don`t care about us 300 Mio, 13th song over 300 Mio.

Eligible for 51 million digital single certifications in the US & currently has 65 million, Billboard, track downloads of 17.9 million outside the US were reported from 2009-14, currently the numbers here indicate 14 million international track downloads
Total Digital Singles as of now would be at least 130 million worldwide.
Thriller has sold 35 million in the United States, it's listed at 65.8 million here with 30 million in the US. That puts it at 70.8 million, he's eligible for 3.8 million in Brazil (Sony when asked about this, refused to apply for them) and 5×Plat/11×Gold in Germany. Total sales for Thriller alone are close to 75 million. Based on eligible certifications, Bad should be at 35 million, History at 22 Million, Dangerous at 32 Million & Off the Wall at 20 million, sales for Invincible haven't been updated since 2002.
14 Million - Digital Singles (Outside United States)
116 Million - Digital Singles (US: 65.8 Certified / 51 Million eligible)
79 Million - Physical Singles (Worldwide - 1970-2017)
201 Million - Studio Albums (191m Adult, 10m: Motown/Posthumous)
101 Million - Compilation Albums
All that adds up to 511 Million, excluding Streams.
The Beatles have 514m from Albums, Singles & LP's, with streams it's 533m
MJ has about 511 million from eligible Albums, Singles & LP's, with streams it's 529m
He's only behind by 4 million, Beatles might have had a surge in sales since 2017 but there's no way they would be significantly higher. he'll pass them soon.
What!? The Beatles have shifted around 365m albums, Jackson has shifted around 285m, that's an enormous difference and certainly not down to a surge in sales since 2017! Also, I think your arithmetic is off, as if you are just adding together all the totals, they actually come to;
The Beatles: 160,650,000+203,392,000+116,080,000+35,230,000+20,655,000= 536,007,000
Jackson: 182,600,000+101,997,000+79,350,000+79,990,000+19,256,000 = 463,193,000
Hi Anonymous!
You are mixing together numbers of different nature, like SPS (sales plus streams) for Thriller at 35m in the US with pure sales, then adding again downloads and streams. You do the same with what you call "eligible" US digital singles, ultimately leading to a double count of downloads and a triple count of streams. Figures listed in this article are comprehensive, minus post-2017 pure sales which wouldn't change the big picture at all (less than 1%).
