Hey all, I will put this in the Charts thread also, but thought this was worth a mention. MJ has cleaned up in Australia! Thriller 25 has gone down as Thriller so they're both not classified as seperate albums. But the reality is it's #2 in Australia! And many more MJ entrys included see below!

Australia pays tribute to Thiller 25 - boosting it 42 positions to the #2 spot in the country - that is an incredible success!

Great, great news. I love to see Michael charting well all around the world! :D
 
anyone know what the total world wide sales are?
 
Wait a minute! Are you tellin me that MJ almost sold 1 mil copies of T25 in the country of Australia alone? 840,000 copies!

See, this is the reason why music critics should look at worldwide sales over national sales. Music is supposed to be universal so why not look at it that way? I mean worldwide sales really show the true strength of the artist IMO.
 
Is the 840,000 copies sold accurate

Wouldn't that pretty much guarantee it 1#
 
Guys...

It's 840,000 in total. Thriller and Thriller 25 (infact all Thriller re-releases) are counted as ONE album.
 
This is really good news. I'm happy and surprised at the same time. MJ better take advantage of this.
 
This is great news! I knew my purchases would count!

We just have to see if we can maintain this for a few weeks at least though, that's the thing when everyone buys the album in the first week, it will chart well, I'm hoping we can achieve some longevity in the Top 10 Charts though!!!

.... no do I have any birthday presents I need to buy this week.... hmmm
