We’ve previously noted how viral Facebook Pages can become, thanks in large part to the “Highlights” section of user homepages where you get notified when multiple friends become a fan of a given page. This lead to Ashton Kutcher reaching one million fans on Facebook before one million followers on Twitter (Twitter) (during the infamous CNN race), and Vin Diesel becoming perhaps a bit disproportionately popular on the social network.

Now, this concept has gained a whole new meaning in the aftermath of the loss of Michael Jackson. The King of Pop has vaulted from a mere 80,000 fans prior to his passing to nearly 6.7 million as of this evening. In turn, that makes Jackson’s fan page the most popular on the entire site, surpassing Diesel and President Obama.
