In entertainment no one is even close to Michael Jackson in stardom power.

The persons mentioned so far in the thread like Bono, Madonna, Britney, John Lennon, J K Rowling (lol what?), Tom Cruise, Paul McCartney and Bob Marley are midgets compared to Michael Jackson. Laughable comparisons really (which actually just shows how HUGE Michael Jackson is).

And historically only Elvis can match MJ.

Madonna is bigger than Michael Jackson and unlike Jackson she never went away or went completely crazy (she's just partially crazy... all that Kabbalah stuff). Her Sticky and Sweet Tour is the highest grossing tour ever by a solo artist. She's tied with Elvis for most top ten singles in the US. Her Confessions On A Dance Floor album debuted at #1 in 29 countries (a world record now surpassed by her own album, Hard Candy, which debuted at #1 in 37 countries.

Oh com'on now. Madonna even had to change her music genre, her style and everything because she lost so much popularity. She's nobody. She had Britney help her trying to get back in the lime-light. Madonna is hardly even a superstar any more.
