Moonwalker.Fan;3547499 said:Michael Jackson New “Immortal” Album Sells Around 40,000 Copies
After all the hoopla about Michael Jackson’s Cirque du Soleil show, you;d think the CD soundtrack would have sold better in its first week. But “Immortal,” an album of remixes taken from the Cirque show, sold just around 40,000 copies last week according to estimates.
It finished at number 18 for the week (final numbers will be in later today), far below the new number 1 album from Nickelback (120,000) and chart stalwart Adele, who has two CDs in the top 50. For Jackson, selling 21,000 copies is a sad echo of his halcyon days in the 80s with “Thriller,” “Bad,” and “Dangerous.”
But the botching of last winter’s “Michael” album–which had no marketing and a whisper campaign that killed it–didn’t help. “Immortal” had almost no pre-release publicity.
Can you please add your source?
HDD have only reported 30% of sales. Which report are you quoting here?
^^ His source is Roger Friedman (you can see it if you click on the title of the article).
How would he know it only sold 40K? Roger is such a hater...and people keep defending his crap.
