BILLBOARD CHART HISTORY: MICHAEL JACKSON MOONWALKS TO NO. 1 WITH 'BILLIE JEAN'

This week in 1983, Jackson began a seven-week Hot 100 command with one of his signature songs.

March 5, 1983 
Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" began its seven-week command of the Billboard Hot 100, marking his longest reign of 13 No. 1s; "Black or White" would also rule for seven frames in 1991.

His 13 leaders remain the most among solo males in the chart's history. (The King of Pop also made four trips to the summit with the Jackson 5.)
