it really is amazing!

it's just a huge shame that it had to take his death to inspire so many new people to "discover" his music.

My friends will say to me now, "oh I love MJ, he's amazing!"
And I just think, he always was amazing, for 45 years he was amazing and he was always there...why not find him earlier!?

I don't know...just my opinion :)
 
Say what you will about the Australian media...But Mike's Aussie fans (myself included!) are as loyal as anyone else out there! :yes:
 
Some songs are reaching new peaks: Thriller, Man in the mirror, Smooth criminal.
 
The Top 50 Album and Singles - I can't believe HIStory was bigger than Bad! :eek:

A little strange about what MJ singles they class as "re-entries", and what are "new entries" though And MJ is in dire need of certification for his singles

Well! Artists usually don't die, to have their albums and singles go to the charts... so I'm not sure if that really is a competetive record and one to be proud of...
 
Yeah that doesn't surprise me at all! I've been trying to help friends of mine find his cd's or dvd's and we haven't seen one thing in any store we've tried. I think the entire country is out of MJ stuff. Most have a pretty hefty backorder waiting list already. I'm so glad I have all his cd's....
