The Michael biopic has detonated Jackson's catalog across the global charts, and "Beat It" is the second-biggest beneficiary. Per Billboard, the track logged 2.9 million on-demand streams in the immediate wake of the film's release, trailing only "Billie Jean" among individual songs — and inmusicblog.com places it at No. 5 on the Daily Spotify Global Chart. The song appears in the film itself, confirmed across the official soundtrack listings at Deadline and Entertainment Weekly. Now tracking across 138 country and platform charts, "Beat It" — the Eddie Van Halen guitar solo, the gang-truce video, the Quincy Jones production that made rock and R&B briefly indistinguishable — is being encountered fresh by audiences who came to the biopic first and the catalog second.
