Xscape chart positions. (incl. singles)

The estate and Sony conducted their own forensic investigation and concluded that it was indeed him

That is what they said they did. They never showed any results of such "forensic investigation".

Well, I have to say that I was really surprised and horribly pleased to see that Michael hit #1 on the year end charts which means there are an awful lot of Michael Jackson fans out there who got a great Christmas gift.

But I was REALLY surprised that Frank Sinatra hit #10-how impressive is that????

That is not year end chart. It's Worldwide iTunes Album Chart on 26.12.2014. That was just for one day.
 
Michael Jackson's posthumous album 'Xscape' is the 14th Best Selling Album of 2014! http://fb.me/6YNT4dYhB

Even in death Michael Jackson remains the King. The King of Pop’s second posthumous album, ‘Xscape’ was the 14th best selling album of 2014. Despite little hype or promotion, MJ’s ‘Xscape was able to sell more than 1.5 million copies worldwide....

'Number Ones' is #1 in 6 countries & Top 10 in 34 on iTunes! All hail the eternal slay. http://kworb.net/itunes/artist/michaeljackson.html …
 
Koopa, some fans believe it is not him based on their own criteria (you would have to check out the thread on that controversy which is extensive). And some fans believe it is him. There is no real proof really. The estate and Sony conducted their own forensic investigation and concluded that it was indeed him, but some fans don't believe in that either. I don't know if we will ever know. For me, it is him, but not his best vocals.

Yes, Teddy Riley mentioned that the vocals were "processed." I'm not sure what he meant by that. But I'm more inclined to believe people like Riley, Bruce Swedien and Greg Phillinganes over stale conspiracy theories about fake wills and fake songs with zero actual proof.

Thanks to chanrw45 from UKMIX

There is a massive difference in album sales on 10 years.
If music business keeps going on the same way as now, 2024 there is no album sales at all?
