He may be gone, but his music has proven its durability.
One day after the shocking death of Michael Jackson, virtually his entire music catalog has seen a massive sales boost. Jackson, despite lackluster sales this past decade, sees no less than 21 albums on the iTunes Store Top 100 Albums chart and 9 albums in the Top 10, with The Essential Michael Jackson at #1, Thriller at #2 (the 25th anniversary edition sits at #5), Number Ones at #3, Off The Wall at #4, Bad at #6, Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection at #7, Dangerous at #8, and the greatest hits version of HIStory at #9. His lowest-charting album on the Top 100 is Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix at #74.
On the songs chart, Michael takes six slots in the top 10, and forty in the top 100. The iconic "Man in the Mirror" sits at #2 behind "I Gotta Feeling" and Thriller at #3. Also in the top 10 are "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Smooth Criminal", and "Black or White". "Billie Jean" sits at #12.
It is so good to know that a whole new generation is getting to know what the King of Pop is really about.
