After learning that Michael Jackson had been rushed to the hospital after a possible heart attack, we scrambled to find a smart way to show the breadth of Michael Jackson’s career. Billboard’s archive of charts showing the Hot 100 Rankings for Michael Jackson seemed to be just the way to go.

It’s fascinating both looking back at his #1 hits — Billie Jean, Beat It, Black or White, among others (tho, suprisingly, Thriller never reach #1 as a single) — and also how his career compared, on the charts at least, with other artists like The Beatles and U2.

And Tom Jackson — assisted by John McGrath and Andrew Kueneman — took a project that had been in the works for a while to show reader feedback, in the form of reader comments and photos, in an entirely new way.

We posted a number of interactives over the last week or so. The rundown:

• The Danger of Digging Deeper looks at a new process to extract geothermal energy from the earth.
• Failed Prostate Procedures at the Philadelphia V.A. accompanies a Walt Bogdanich story about botched prostate cancer procedures.
• Shan Carter and Joe Ward cranked out three interactives about the U.S. Open, this year plaed at Bethpage’s Black Course out on Long Island: The Treacherous 8th Green, The Diabolic 15th and Tiger’s Double Bogey
• Cheryl Jense, Kevin Quealy, Alicia Parlapiano and Daniel McDermon produced an informative guide to the cars and trucks that are Made in the U.S.A.
• And finally, as mentioned in the previous post, we launched our interactive map of Murders in New York.
