MJ #1 in the daily Sanity music charts - 25/2/08

This is fantastic, good to see he finally pipped Jack Johnson after 2 weeks!
Maybe Thriller could be #1 next week in Australia? Time will tell.

Is there any way to have updated sales for other albums in the US? We used to have weekly sales in the past, and it would be interesting to see how is the whole catalogue selling...

[richardhardy1979]

MJ is at Number 2 (he was number 1 last week) in whole of europe, behind Winehouse - see below -


After seven weeks as Europe's No. 1, Winehouse's album spent the last two weeks at No. 2 behind new entries for Jack Johnson and then Michael Jackson. It returns to the summit after climbing 3-1 in Switzerland and the Belgian region of Flanders, 2-1 in Spain, Austria and Ireland, and holding at No. 1 in Germany, Holland and Portugal. It's also up 7-3 in Italy, 10-5 in Poland, 7-5 in Wallony and 16-12 in the United Kingdom, where the deluxe, two-CD edition of the album vaults 14-3 in the wake of Winehouse's Brit Award performances.

Jackson's 25th anniversary reissue of "Thriller" (Legacy/Epic) thus falls to No. 2 overall, although it holds at No. 1 in France and Wallony, debuts at No. 2 in Sweden and climbs 5-2 in Ireland, 4-2 in Spain, 3-2 in Denmark and 6-4 in Poland. The re-release also maintains six other European top five rankings.

Thats a good result, many thanks to france now 92,000 sold there in 2 weeks!!!
