It’s has done really well in the UK this year. Better than last year. Number ones has been consistently in top 40/50 albums each week for the past few months. It has only started to decline now due to the Christmas albums.

On November 26th 1991 Michael 4th album Dangerous was released. Album debuted #1 on Billboard 200 as well as other countries. Dangerous generated 4 Top 10 singles & #1 single ‘Black or White’. It remains one of the best selling albums of all time. Dangerous sold over 32 million copies worldwide, and was certified 8× platinum. The tour made $100m which made it 1 of the highest grossing of the 90s - all proceeds went to charity. Michael also sold the rights of 1 show for $21m, the highest amount for a performer to be on TV at the time. Happy 29th Anniversary Dangerous!

Another great year for Michael, especially Thriller as it performed very well and stayed on the charts every week in 2020.

How is that Billboard 200 chart made??

Does it include all albums - also new albums released in 2020?

If so - 111 and 149 is extremely impressive... - There must be released 1000s of albums each year.
