Depends on people's age and interests, but Michael Jackson by a very large margin. Among certain younger age groups, it's probably still Michael Jackson, but by a lesser degree, with many not knowing who either person is

Magnus Carlsen suffers under the crushing handicap that Pawns only move forward.

They can't Moonwalk.

Michael Jackson 1 , Magnus Carlsen 0

As a person who has been into the depths of Africa I can tell you they know who Micky Jackson is! They love him, I have only been to Indian citys, they love him there as well. I am afraid I begrudgingly concede Jacko is more popular and well known.

I have to say, music is more popular than chess, I would think Michael Jackson would be more popular.

This isnt even a debate

If he wants to achieve greater popularity, Carlsen should take a lesson from Michael Jackson. At his next tournament, capture en passant, then get up from the table, spin while grabbing his crotch and letting out a high pitched "he he he"
