It's his new single, according to the official website: http://breakingnews.michaeljackson.com/pressrelease.html
Okay what criteria is needed? Because I'm sure there are LOTS of singles on Wikipedia that don't pass them, yet are allowed to live. MaJic Talk 2 Me. I'll Listen. 17:48, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
This article blatantly fails both WP:SONG, WP:NSONG and WP:GNG. You should be aware of this. If you would like to work on the article which you keep bringing up, you may create it in your sandbox. Until it ;
this article does not get a page. Please also be aware that WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a valid argument as stated earlier "Because I'm sure there are LOTS of singles on Wikipedia that don't pass them, yet are allowed to live" is not a valid argument. Simply because another page has a page does not mean this page gets one. Once it because notable the redirect may be removed, until then, no. I am also going to request Protection of this page. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 00:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Huffington Post commentator Joe Vogel praised it as "a simple, but powerful song that embodies so much of what fans loved about Michael Jackson... making the personal something more profound and universal", and Vogel also stated that "With its catchy chorus and majestic crescendo it has all the makings of a big hit". [1] Toronto Star music critic Ashante Infantry praised the single as "a catchy, well-meaning addition to his catalogue". [2] MTV's Gil Kaufman stated that "the uplifting "Hold My Hand" is one of Jackson's classic love ballads, a heart-stirring call to unity" and that it ended with "a majestic feel". [3] Newsday music critic Glenn Gamboa said that the tune "finds Jackson in fine voice" and remarked, "Now this is more like it." [4]

It is so gratifying to note that 5 Wikipedia language pages have now taken contents of the English page of "Hold My Hand" and created pages in their languages as well. The number of such language will only grow bigger and bigger by the day. Just to show the importance of having a valid English page that can have a ripple effect and add content to non-English pages with much greater speed. It is also gratifying to note that the song is charting in more and more countries on its first week of release justifying the notability of the song. So tye initial Canadian chart entry was not a lone case. The song has even reached number 1 in a Belgian chart! More reason for notability werldwayd ( talk) 20:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
It will be released to radio in the Unitited States on November 23rd. Source: [9]. Please add this to the release history. STATic message me! 21:19, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
