If it's due to be certified 15x Platinum, I believe that will tie it as the best selling album in Australia with Shania Twain's Come On Over.

'STARTIN'' ALL OVER AGAIN: After an absence from the Hot 100 of four years, one month and one week, Michael Jackson returns with "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008," an update of a song that was originally a No. 5 hit a quarter of a century ago. It is Jackson's first title to appear on the chart since "One More Chance" peaked at No. 83 in 2003. Since "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008" bows at No. 81, it is Jackson's highest entry since "Butterflies" flew to No. 14 in 2002.

Back in 1983, the Epic single "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" was a solo effort by Jackson. The remake teams Michael with Akon and is the 47th Hot 100 hit (away from the Jackson 5) for the former and the 19th entry for the latter. Of course, Akon has only been charting since June 2004 and Jackson had his first solo chart entry on the chart dated Oct. 30, 1971, a year-and-a-half to the day before Akon was born.

While "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008" is the first chart entry for Akon in 2008, he had an abundant nine chart entries in 2007. Jackson's most prolific year was 1983, when the original "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" was one of six chart entries.
 
'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008' featuring Michael Jackson and Akon, the first single from the Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition in the USA, debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts this week (issue date 09-02-2008) at #81.

Simultaneously it debuted on the Billboard Pop 100 charts on #48.

And it debuted on the Hot Digital Tracks charts at #38 and on the Hot Digital Songs charts at #47.

The current poisition on the Billboard Pop 100 Airplay charts is #49, falling just 2 positions from #47 last week.

Keep requesting the song on your local radio station!

WBSS 2008 down to 92 on the Billboard Hot 100..

i guess it was to be expected.. more Akon than Michael

should have gone with TGIM 2008 as lead off single

^^ Well I don't know about that coz WBSS to me is better than TGIM, also although TGIM is released in the UK, its not really doing as well as i thought. I will make the top 40 I believe that but don't think it will stay in the chart for much longer afterwards.

Still pretty good either way considering the songs are really old and many peeps prefer the original.

I think SONY is going more for the sales of T25 than promoting the singles, on amazon it's pre-orders sales are so amazing that it is causing Michael's back catalog as a whole to sell very well.
 
i wasnt expecting the singles to do well anyways. no video, and they're not great.
