So is that for all time in the UK? What are the numbers in parenthesis?

This is for the sales of all time in the UK, the numbers in the parenthesis are the number of copies each album has sold from Jan thru November 2007.

The amazing thing is there are only 50 million people in the UK and Michael has two of the biggest selling albums all time there both having sold over 3.5 million copies a piece that's extraordinary.

time is always on MJ's side....he's just getting ready to come out with something, and his success preceeds him. now that's the mark of success. i'm lovin it.
 
I tojall that song was a jam!

I been listening to it on YouTube and it is absolutely brilliant! It doesn't TAKE AWAY from the original........it CELEBRATES it! And the groove on it is tight.

Of all the remixes we've heard from Thriller 25, this one is by far, the best.
