Michael Jackson is Still Killing the Charts
Michael Jackson broke many records and made history while he was alive and he’s continuing to do the same in death. The week after his death, Jackson sold 800,000 albums, this doubles the week the news broke of his passing. In less than two weeks Michael Jackson has sold over 1.2 million albums.
Number Ones led the way with 339,000 copies, followed by Thriller with 187,000 for the week ended Sunday—the first full week since his June 25 death—according to Nielsen SoundScan.
For the second week in a row, Jackson sold more than 2 million total digital tracks—no other artist has even sold 1 million copies in single frame before. On the Hot Digital Songs chart, Jackson claimed five of the Top 10, with “Man in the Mirror” leading the way at No. 2 with 159,000 downloads. Only the Black Eyed Peas accounted for more, with 215,000 downloads of the current Hot 100 chart-topper “I Gotta Feeling.”
