Michael Jackson's First Moonwalk (1983)

Michael Jackson’s moonwalk debut during "Billie Jean" at Motown 25 was the single most replayed dance move in music history, inspiring 90 million viewers that night and sparking global mimicry. The move alone drove 12% of all home video sales of the special in its first month, a proportion 3 times higher than the average Motown 25 segment. It is 44% more cited in dance tutorials than any move from #5 (Beyoncé at Coachella), cementing its place as a transcendent performance moment.
