Michael Jackson had the benefit of more media during his time in the spotlight.
Totally, I just asked my older teens to name the Beatles, they got 2/4 but could only name 1 song between them. Elvis, one had heard of him but couldn’t name any songs and the youngest had no idea who he was.

But then I am terrible with music, I stopped listening to anything new in the mid nighties and they may think I’m out of it!
