Since he died...Michael Jackson Music Sales Numbers

[RadioNate]

I just thought this was interesting. My DH complies this type of info for a a radio industry magazine.

* It's the first time the #1 Catalog album has sold more than the #1 album on the BILLBOARD Top 200 album chart.

* It's the first time ever that the same artist had 8 out of the top 10 positions on a chart.

* Holds the top 4 spots on the Digital Album Chart this week and 6 out of the top 10 positions.

* First Artist to ever have 1 million or more tracks sold in one week.

* Sold more than 2,300,000 digital tracks (as well as 292,000 JACKSON 5 tracks) this week.

* Has 36 songs in the Top 200 Digital Song chart (note there were also six JACKSON 5 songs on the chart as well).

* Nine songs were downloaded more than 100,000 times.

* Pandora has streamed 48 million MJ songs and another 14 million Jackson 5 ... all in the last 5 days.

With any luck, this will help to get the estate back in the black, so that the kids won't be primarily inheriting debt.

Just like Elvis, worth way more dead than alive. He's become safe and predicable now; no more possibility of ending up in jail.
