Jackson passed away last week following a cardiac arrest, and radio stations worldwide put out his songs as a tribute to the star.
His tunes blanketed the airwaves in America -- Jackson's records received a staggering 67,383 plays across 1,600 terrestrial and satellite radio stations in the last week.
The most played track was 1983's “Billie Jean,” which DJ's put out 4,500 times.
