So - more than 500.000 copies sold in US alone right?

Gold is good for a dead artist and with so little promotion.

Pitchfork Names Top 100 Tracks of 2014: “Love Never Felt So Good (Original Version)” Listed At #10

Presenting The 100 Best Tracks of 2014, as voted by our writers and editors. Any track that was released in 2014 or had its greatest impact in the U.S. this year was eligible.
Michael Jackson – “Love Never Felt So Good (Original Version)” EPIC – #10

Despite claims of endlessly fruitful archives, Michael Jackson’s forgettable first posthumous album, 2010’s Michael, suggested otherwise. Soon enough, the nagging worry that we would never hear another great unreleased Jackson song ever again began to harden into sad fact. And then: “Love Never Felt So Good”. The track was released in three separate versions this year, including a winning, swing-laden disco take and a contemporized Timbaland/Timberlake update, but it’s this spare piano-and-vocal demo put to tape in the first half of 1983 that sounds the most lasting.

Jackson wrote and recorded the track with Vegas crooner—and onetime child star—Paul Anka, who was attempting a comeback at the time and wanted to place a duet with Michael on his new album. But at the start of ’83, Thriller was just starting to become the universe-expanding behemoth we all now know. Realizing a collaboration with an aging lounge act may not be the best career move for the biggest pop phenomenon since the Beatles—in modern terms, this would be a little like Drake suddenly dropping a single with Engelbert Humperdinck—Jackson backed out at the last minute. Given Michael’s artistic trajectory, this also makes sense, because “Love Never Felt So Good” is the sort of unabashedly joyous pop song the singer was trying to grow out of back then. But after decades, the track now sounds like a much-needed respite from the darkness.

Without any extraneous embellishments, the demo functions as a singing clinic, with Jackson putting enough force through his lungs to make the the hook’s stacked vocals sound three dimensional. Meanwhile, his finger snaps and beat-boxed hi-hats could very well serve as this year’s most swinging percussion. At the end of the song, we hear him coming down to Earth: “All right, that’s fine,” he deadpans, ostensibly following a vocal take, not sounding tremendously impressed. In 1983, “Love Never Felt So Good” was another classic-sounding song made by someone hell bent on the future; in 2014, it’s a reminder of why everyone fell in love with Michael Jackson in the first place.

Billboard Best Song Battle Round 1: Coldplay, “A Sky Full of Stars” vs. Michael Jackson Feat. Justin Timberlake, “Love Never Felt So Good”

Results
MAURA JOHNSTON: It’s not quite “Rock With You,” and the addition of Timberlake feels like a superfluous attempt to be down with the “kids” (who aren’t kids at this point). But MJ’s vocal performances still pop out of a speaker like few of his peers.
My Vote: “Love Never Felt So Good”

WILLIAM GRUGER: While Coldplay really managed to set the tone of their newest album with this single, Justin Timberlake helped Michael Jackson have a moment in 2014, five years after his passing. Bonus points because Michael Jackson sounds pretty good as a sampled beat boxer.
My Vote: “Love Never Felt So Good”

DENISE WARNER: The combination of Jackson and Timberlake’s vocals might have beaten Coldplay at their Coldplay-iest , but fake duets between one live and one dead singer are so 1991. Advantage, the former Mr. Paltrow.
“A Sky Full of Stars”

JOE LYNCH: As crassly commercial as it is to pair a contemporary pop star with a deceased legend, “Love Never Felt So Good” sounded so good as a demo that this rejiggered Timberlake version still satisfies. Coldplay’s Avicii collabo is inoffensive, but B-level Michael Jackson beats Coldplay’s EDM crossover.
My Vote: “Love Never Felt So Good”

ALEX GALE: After the serene beauty of “Magic,” “A Sky Is Full of Stars” is like being yelled at by a drunk person at an Avicii gig (partly because Avicii produced it.) The lyrics — “You’re a sky full of stars, ‘cause you light up the dark” — may have come from an online Coldplay Song Generator. “Love Never Felt So Good,” on the other hand, could be mixed into a DJ set of MJ classics and no one dancing would mind much (except for when Justin gets ad-lib-y on the bridge). That’s really, really high praise.
My Vote: “Love Never Felt So Good”

OVERALL WINNER:
“Love Never Felt So Good”
