| With Trevor Nelson | 20180827 | In this bank holiday special, Trevor Nelson brings to an exciting close BBC Radio 2's day-long Michael Jackson celebration, marking what would have been the King of Pop's 60th birthday this week. At the time of his death in 2009 aged 50, Michael was the best-selling artist of all time - which includes more than 40 UK Top 10 hits as a solo artist alone. In this unmissable two-hour show, Trevor counts down the music icon's top 20 best-selling tracks in the UK - mixed in with surprise appearances from celebrity fans, memories from those who knew and worked with him, plus archive of Michael in his own words. Trevor offers this timely reminder of the King of Pop's incredible musical output spanning four decades - from child star with The Jackson 5 to his prolific solo career - with the countdown figures especially provided by the Official Charts Company for this special occasion. Everyone has a favourite Michael Jackson track: from 70s classics such as ABC and I Want You Back to dancefloor gems like Billie Jean and Thriller, from ballads such as Ben and You Are Not Alone, through to his star collaborations with the likes of Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Mick Jagger, Siedah Garrett and more.
