King Of Pop Climbs The Billboard Charts
Filed under: Michael Jackson
When your music is so universal, it will live on forever!
Such is the case with the melodies and tunes of the late Michael Jackson. In spite of the tragedy of his death, his music lives on in his absence, being played on every radio station, every iPod, and every place you can possibly imagine.
It then comes as no surprise to anyone that the King of Pop is back where he belongs: right atop the Billoboard charts. Though the official numbers won't be released until tomorrow, industry experts indicate that three of Jackson's albums, Number Ones, The Essential Michael Jackson, and Thriller, each sold around 100,000 copies last week. (The tracking week ends on Sunday, so really, they sold 300,000 units in 4 days!)
All three titles will rein as the top 3 albums on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog chart, and Jackson may secure anywhere from six to nine slots in tally's the top 10 with some of his other albums. In fact, there is a good chance that the entire top 10 on the Pop Catalog chart may be filled with Jackson albums, counting the two Jackson 5 compilations, making him the first artist to ever pull off the achievement. And if anyone can do it, Michael can!
Of course, in our digital age, the majority of album purchases came from online. Sources say the three aforementioned albums each sold more than 30,000 digital copies, with Essential moving more than 70,000 downloads alone.
We're sure Michael would be proud to see his music see this kind of rejuvenation.

it's kind of sad that he'll finally be out of debt due to record sales, but he's not here to enjoy it.
: (
I love how he's pushing all the no-talent young ones out of the top spots, it's awesome.
Best song is You're not alone and "Speechless" from the Invincible album. It's incredible this song was never released as a single. It's outstanding.
NO SURPRISE THERE. EVEN THE REDNECK BARS I VISIT….AGAINST EVERYONE'S BETTER JUDGEMENT…..ARE PLAYING THE HELL OUT OF HIS TRACKS.

LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM……HE CHANGED WORLDWIDE CULTURE.
yyaayy mj
What is it that Perez said?? I hope nothing inappropriate as Michael has a mother…just like Perez. Please tell me it wasn't anything hurtful.
Heal the world!
LONG LIVE MICHAEL JACKSON!
THE KING OF POP!
amazing!
He deserves that! Love him…
he would be proud to see his music getting rejuvenation. i bet he also would have liked to see will.i.am give you another black eye and watch you whine about it on your site. yep, he'd love to watch you cry like a little girl and try to make yourself out to be the victim when it was you talking shit to begin w/ that started the fight. isnt that right, f*cking f*aggot? im sure he'd have some sour feeling toward you after you accused him of faking being ill and dying while he was actually dying. either apologize to his friends and family, or quit posting about him. you lost that right. and quit censoring posts.
awww maybe this will help get him out of debt….MJ has the best fans =)
everyone has at least 1 fav MJ song
It's "reign" to rule. You "rein" in a horse. Duh.
WE LOVE U MJ! i wont lie, since he passed ive d
michael smashed records throughout his career and right to the end with his record breaking sellout concerts so of course he will continue to do so even now he`s gone…
he wasnt the king of pop for nothing.
no other artist - male or female - could touch him when he was alive and this will continue.
I am tired of hearing it…. Every single station playing his music over and over… Every TV station playing tributes, and Every magazine with his spooky face all over the cover. if anyone gave a shit about him, they would have praised him when he was ALIVE… now he is dead, so they aren't doing him any favors…. any money made MIGHT cover the debts he created out of greed.
He is gone, let him stay that way.
MICHAEL PREDICTED HIS DEATH IN HIS SONG " MORPHINE" HE CRIED FOR HELP ND NO ONE LISTENED.
He got flat baby
Kick in the back baby
A heart attack baby
I need your body
This won't hurt you
Before I put it in
Close your eyes and count to ten
Don't cry
I won't convert you
There's no need to dismay
Close your eyes and drift away
Demerol
Demerol
Oh God he's taking demerol
Demerol
Demerol
Oh God he's taking demerol
He's tried
Hard to convince her
To be over what he had
Today he wants it twice as bad
Don't cry
I won't resent you
Yesterday you had his trust
Today he's taking twice as much
how many kids accused him of molesting them?
Re: angels of neverland – If we took EVERY song that these pop stars come out with as a cry for help, nearly EVERY single ONE of them could be Baker acted. A cry for HELP isn't writing a song about it. If he wanted help, he could have paid a real Dr for help, instead of spending the millions that he did on drugs. If he sang ot wrote these lyrics, then he obviously wasn't too embarrassed about it to seek professional help. It's sad when anyone loses their life, but the cold hard truth is, HE did this to himself. One might say it was a slow suicide, but he had to know the effects these drugs have on your body. Especially with the rapid pace that his body was deterriorating, everyone on the outside (who didn't even pay close attention) could clearly see that this man was ill, and has been on the verge of death for several years.
B, I'm putting alot of MJ on your new D. I've been adding to it all year
How many times r u gonna post the same damn shit?!?
so glad to know mike music will forever live on while all these other talenless acts will fade away in time
and he gets the last laugh i hope this does not sound disrespectful because i LOVEEE mike but him dying was his best comeback
Actually, you moron, the tracking week ends on Tuesday pm.
The top 10 albums are already listed at hitsdailydouble.com
Lovely is the feeling now! Don't stop until you get enough. Because it's the way you make me feel. Such a Thriller! Ok, I had to do that. I have everything. But, I never stopped playing his music. Great to dance and exercise to. Ok, now I will beat it!
can people get over him already.
r.i.p let it go.
next.
idk why people talk so much shit when hes
alive then love him when his ass dies
Perez, you shouldn't write about Michael Jackson until you apologize for accusing him of faking his death in the first place. Take responsibility for what you've said.
I enjoyed his albums when he was younger, but I'm already sick of seeing his Skeletor face on every news paper, news channel and internet media pages. Thank You Perez for realizing…not everyone gives a shit about Michael Jacksom!!!!! I'm sorry he's gone, but come on people. I've kept my TV and radio off because of this nonsence.
Bottom line, someone needs to be held responsible for this untimely death. It's so ridiculous. I hope justice will prevail, and the doctor who thought he/she could get away with this, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Also, if you have already not done so, please watch "Living with Michael Jackson, Take Two," (Michael's story). This will clear some of the lingering questions you might have of Martin Bashir, and his true character. I'll let you make your own judgement on him…
RIP Michael. God Bless, pray for his children.
Pathetic. Years to buy this turds music and then they all wait till he dies to buy it.How morbid can they get.What a fuss. Anyone would think he is the first famous person to slowly kill himself off with drug abuse and a weird life style.
Even worse isi that Perez/Mario is now arse licking the bandwagon as well ,after his first comments…….. hypocrite
Why didn't people get it and know how good his music was when he was alive? For fucks sake..maybe his kids will be well taken care of from this and maybe everyone will shut the fuck up about him not being the bio dad..those kids were his enough if he gave birth to them himself. Why do they all have to make a circus of his death??????????????
better he climb the billboards then some kid….
I'M GLAD HIS MUSIC HAS MADE A COMEBACK ~ HOPEFULLY NOW HIS DEBTS WILL BE ALL PAID OFF AND HIS CHILDREN WILL HAVE A LEGACY TO BE PROUD OF.
