The music industry has become so fragmented with the advent of the internet that I think the days of a 'King of Pop' are pretty much over. People pick their entertainment rather than having it forced upon them while trying to find something they like in the mix through a few limited outlets like radio, television or video. The kind of critical mass media needed to create a star like Jackson is slowly fading away. To paraphrase the Buggles, Narrowcasting killed the Radio Star.
