"Five billion streams? I wish Mama could've heard that," Jackson said from the stage. "She wouldn't know what a stream is," he joked with a with a smile. "I just want to say 'Thank you' to people like y'all who have supported my music," he said. "It's been a crazy ride."
In presenting the honor, Thompson noted the achievement was not Jackson's alone. ""This is all thanks to your amazing fans who've chosen to stream your songs over 5-billion times."
