Exactly how many copies has Thriller sold now? Has it passed the Eagles in the states again? How many has it sold worldwide?

MJ is having a GOING TO JAIL sale and that might explain his extra sales this week

its obvious this list is artists you like because i find it hard to believe you can get all this information and not be able to get it for Prince

Mazerati said:

Actually, you'll be interested to know that I made a request for Prince's weekly Soundscan figures, however, due to your last post, I've decided that even if I get them, I won't post them.

Enjoy your sour grapes buddy.

Don't you have to actually have some sort of power before you go on a power trip?

"Dangerous" was up in sales! YES!

RipHer2Shreds said:

He is important, though. If he/she left,would post the 900 articles saying Michael Jackson is innocent because his accuser's mother stole George Washington's wooden teeth, or that Thriller sold 180 copies last year in Turkmenistan?

Actually, it's more of an ego trip. And yes, I do have a big ego so there ya go.
