It was mentioned in the Xscape chart watch thread that maybe it would be good to open a general MJ chart watch thread. So here it is.
Like said MJ's catalog albums are back on Billboard 200 after the Christmas season:

Some currently hip artists have more followers but even some of the current top artists have less than MJ:
Bruno Mars 2,765,495
Taylor Swift 2,453,431
Beyoncé 2,405,218
Adele 2,394,979
Justin Bieber 2,333,017
Usher 2,149,985
Justin Timberlake 1,310,325
Lady Gaga 1,252,119
Sam Smith 893,494
So I think it's pretty good for MJ. Keep it growing MJFam!
