## Resource

Did the King of Pop’s solo crown block the shine of the royal family that started it all? In this edition of The Daily Dilemma on Majic 102.1, The Madd Hatta tackled one of the most fiercely debated questions in music history: Did Michael Jackson’s astronomical solo megastardom completely overshadow the legendary greatness of the Jackson 5/The Jacksons? Before Thriller, Bad, and the stadium tours, there were historical anthems like "I Want You Back," "ABC," and the groundbreaking funk of the Destiny and Triumph albums. The Jacksons didn't just pave the way for Michael—they were an elite, hit-making powerhouse in their own right, redefining Black pop music and stage showmanship forever. But once MJ went stratospheric, did the world forget the collective genius of Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and later, Randy?
