Michael Jackson on top
By WordPress on Wed, Jul 1, 2009
Unsurprisingly, sales of Michael Jackson albums have soared since his death. According to Billboard.com, the entire top nine positions on Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog Albums belong to Jackson-related titles when the tally was released this morning. His album, “Number Ones” is at No. 1 with 108,000 (an increase of 2,340%) while “The Essential Michael Jackson” and “Thriller” are in the Nos. 2 and 3 slots with 102,000 and 101,000, respectively. Last week “Number Ones” was the only Jackson title on the chart, at No. 20 with 4,000 copies; both “Essential” and “Thriller” re-enter the tally this week.

Does anyone have a favorite MJ album? I just own “Thriller,” but I haven’t listened to any of the other albums except in passing.

So stoked to see The Book of Eli on January 15th. I’ll be checking back now and between that time for some news on that movie.
