Can Michael Jackson get a radio hit?

If/when Michael releases his next studio album, do you think it's possible for him to get a decent radio hit? Could he ever get another #1 on the Hot 100. He hasn't done it since 95.

Plus, what do you think is the maximum amount he could sell if everything goes well in the U.S.? Can he top Invincible's 2 million?

Discuss.

It wont happen again. The concert should do him justice, but his sales as in records and charts are done...no older artist is really making chart topping singles except for country artists or unless you are making it big on Dance / Club play like Whitney Mariah and Janet did with their last singles...and even those people dont want to count as "real" top charters.

I'd rather take a wait and see approach on this one.

I'd be very surprised and it wouldn't make any difference if it were brilliant or lame. neutral Our youth-obsessed /your in/out culture says, Michael passsed his prime because he's "old.

It's not impossible, but very unlikely. Hit radio is still doing the same shit and nearly banning most artists with careers that had careers that even started in the eighties (let alone artists in their fifties!). Considering he barely squeaked out a pop hit in 2001, when radio was still narrow minded but not as much, I would be shocked.
