SALES OF MICHAEL JACKSON ALBUMS HAVE SKYROCKETED IN THE UK, SALES INCREASES OF 1000% HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY HMV!!! A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE STORE SAID THEY HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT SINCE THE THRILLER DAYS AND MJ SHOULD GET A NEW WRECKA OUT SOON! HE ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAD 2 ORDER MORE COPIES OF MJ BECAUSE THEY WERE RUNNING OUT!!

sort of a John Wayne Gacy attraction eh?

Fuckin' ace!

If this is true, then no doubt a number of his albums will feature in the album charts imminently??? Or is it just bullshit?

I'd like to see a source on this but it wouldn't surprise me. I'll never understand though why it takes some publicity and hype for someone to finally decide they need (in this case) a Michael Jackson album. They have been available for decades if you like the music.

well for example i just remembered that my history cd had been worn out and it reminded me 2 go out and buy another one! i forgot how expensive it was thought £26.99 which is like $40

FunkyBrotha said:

Shame you don't have a Selectadisc near you. They're selling that mutha for £9.99.

Cloudbuster said:

If this story is true then it'll be hiked up to £26.99 too soon. hehe

I wonder how The Who albums are doing?

get a life

and flying monkeys are also coming out of my ass, right now, you should come look. I'm sure there will be more coming out in a minute or two.

I predict that this "Living With MJ" documentary will get sky-high ratings in the U.S. too.His Celebration concert from a few years ago was watched by over 27 million households.Kinda makes you wonder why MJ doesn't just sign a deal with a TV station and have a weekly series or something...lol...

The Faceless Wonder sells a few more albums-
What's he gonna do with it?
Buy a new fairground ride?
Pay off another family?
Invest in some new lipstick i say!

Mike still racking them up.I wonder what stopped folks before as Essence said?

haha. see, now that's funny.

Michael Jackson is the leader of world pop music, others just fail to match his consistant high standards.

The percentages look impressive, until you look at the *actual* sales figures.

Something like 475 copies of Thriller this week, compared to the 100 sold the week before.

Not exactly setting the charts alight is he.

WOW!!!

I had 2 check my computer clock and date 2 check 2 see if this wasnt April 1st - April Fools Day!!

This has 2 b some sort of a joke!!!

This news is really no big deal.MJ is more popular outside the U.S. these days anyway.

lol yeah dave hes popular in places where Child porn is legal LOL

wanker!

The record sales up 1000% thing is true.

also a poll conducted found 62% think more favorably of him now than they did before the documentary.

lol awww striking nerves is fun

Media-led lightweight culture stringed along by what's the current hype on TV. Don't forget it's negative publicity triggering the sales.

Few people using "The Who" diss on this thread but a duet with Pete Townsend covering Britney Spears' "Boys" and we'd be talking platinum.

DavidEye said:

Man that has been the case since the "Bad" Album.

Essence said:

The Who ain't mattered really in like 20 plus Years tops IMHO.they get Corperate Love with there Tours now but as far Charting a Hit Song?NAW I don't see it.

but what does it say that a controversial interview is what spikes sales..instead of having a good run at time of release based on music etc only...

Tonight is the TV special here in the USA.
When they check the ratings it will have done well.
This will be proof to MJ's followers that he is still popular.
They won't see that people watched the MJ special in the same way they slow down when they drive past a car crash.
