I hope I don't get labeled as being negative but getting those amount of listeners is not as amazing as it seems. Big artists nowadays all get radio deals so their song gets played every hour usually for a day (when it's released) sometimes a couple of days. It's almost like paid for promotion. Hence why radio people were invited to come listen to the album some time a go. They probably made the deals then. It's good for the song but it doesn't really show how well it's gonna do on radio in the long run.
Also these kind of deals have only started since a couple of years and radio impressions were lower especially in the 90's so it's not really representative.
Nice that they invested in radio airplay though, this way more people can be exposed to Michael's music.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I need help...this is my first time buying from iTunes. I bought both versions of the single and now it automatically downloaded the 'Original version' which is NOT (JT remix). So I have 2 questions: 1- when the full album is available to buy, will I have to pay for the 2 versions of LNFSG or will I be able to download them for free, since I already bought them?; and 2-I forgot this one

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Of a video.

^^ Feekl = verb; pronounced feel; the k is silent--used to describe a accumulation of fear resulting from Michael Jackson's solo video being blocked, cold play having a higher chart position, & LNFSG & Escape not being # 1 worldwide.

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like in the songs "I Feekl Good" by James Brownie or "The Way You Make Me Feekl" by Michael Jordan.

"Bumper Snippet Kid" --> Bumper Jr. ? --> who's the mother?

The mother is the person who gave birth to Bumper Snippet Kid

That's something the Estate should deal with.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Guys since this is the 2nd album and the first single is out, has anyone seen any congratulatory tweets from Michael's relatives or the producers of the Michael album? We have had rave reviews from others.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

On the Danish Itunes I just noticed that there are 4 versions of LNFSG placed in top 40. It seems that there are 2 versions of each version (if that makes any sens), meaning that some people bought the singles through the single pages while others bought the singles through the album pages.

LNFSG(both solo and duet) holds the spots #1, #35, #36 and #40

Somewhat sad that the sales are split that way !

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

BTW......forgot to post this yesterday, on this Monday's edition of Entertainment Tonight, they will be interviewing Justin Timberlake and he will be telling the story of how Michael encouraged him to go solo (which he said he has never spoken about before now).

Hopefully we get to hear more about how the collaboration on this song came to be.

Jackie praised the album on twitter. One of Tito sons had mixed feelings but he didn't heard any of the songs.

I was aware of the title Bumper Snippet around 1989, 1990 or 1991, can't remember the exact date when I for the first time read about that title in a magazine. So, no, I have not asked to change my screen name, I have always had this one.

When you buy the album, iTunes will recognize that you already have purchased LNFSG, so you will not be purchasing twice. You're basically "completing" the album.

This New Michael Jackson Song Rules, Haters Drool

What’s that? A wild Michael Jackson single appeared? And it’s….great??? Yes, yes indeed. Behold “Love Never Felt So Good,” a song whose origins stem from 1983, when Mike penned the record with Paul Anka, and, for reasons not quite understood, never came out until today. This disco romp, meant for enthusiastically shaking your hips while secretly coked out at your little cousin’s Bar Mitzvah, is basically the best-case scenario for new Michael Jackson, since everyone (including me) was all like “OH GOD PLEASE DON’T PUT MICHAEL JACKSON VOCALS ON REJECTED JUSTIN BIEBER INSTRUMENTALS.” I guess that just makes me a hater though, because this song is the slap. It’s the first single from Xscape, Jackson’s upcoming posthumous record.

And just to complete the info.

When you don't buy the album, iTunes won't recognize that you haven't purchased LNFSG yet, so you will be purchasing once. You're acidly "emptying" the album.

ABOUT THE 4 VERSIONS CHARTING ON ITUNES EVERYWHERE!

Don't worry, guys! That's how it regularly happens.

2 versions are the single releases, the other ones are "album tracks". In the end, all of them will count as one for charts.

Well in that case, I would so much look forward to seeing the two versions competing against each other in the top of the singles charts ! :clapping:

Well, yes, LNFSG had a huge multiformat radio deal for the release day, and it’s impossible to tell how it will do on radio in the long run. But even if it does nothing on radio after the first few days, the airplay has already exposed people to this song and the new album. The song is doing nicely on iTunes, and maybe even more importantly the album has increased significantly. For example on US iTunes the album made it to the top 10, higher than it was on the first day of pre-order. It means that people heard the song, and liked it so much that they actually pre-ordered the album without hearing the rest of the songs.

And besides, I hope the huge radio deal means that the label is invested in this project and is seriously trying to make the album as successful as possible. There have been some complaints about lack of promo with some earlier releases. It looks like this time we can’t blame the label for not doing their job!

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

OMG...The billboard new issue leaked online and i was able to read the FULL cover story

I can pretty much confirm the same thing we already know about the producers:
McClain for LNFSG
Rodney jerkins for xscape
Stargate for APWNN (the track wasn't written by Dr freeze or MJ btw)
and Timbo and JRoc for the reamaing 5

Soo amnu cool stories...soo many Epic comments about creation of the tracks

Stragate worked for a whole week on APWNN While timbo and J Roc worked a track each day

LOOOOOL, at the story of Timbo creating "Loving you" (he said it was difficult for him)

Another thing is...LA Ried said that DYKWYCA was written on BAD era and MJ reworked it for dangerous !!! Also said that the original was a little polite in comaprison to the angry new version

One last thing was orihinal STTR was just drums and bass and MJ vocals

Go read the Full Everyone

Also, I think the YT views are pretty good too for a song that does not have a video. In fact I think it does better on YT than Coldplay's new single. (I'm using them as a reference because they are currently releasing their album as well, because they are current artists and because there's big hype and anticipation about their album, so I think it's a good measure to see how Michael compares.) So all in all I think Michael is doing very well.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Seems the JT version is incorrectly labeled as (Original Version) on iTunes -- I'm guessing that'll change.

Glad to see it and the album version were made available today on my pre-order though And, if I'm not mistaking, the mastering on these downloads seems better too... Production sounds clearer / crisper.
