The Michael Jackson Chart Watch

To be honest, I'm surprised at Moonwalker. What sort of statistics are these? DVD sales? Netflix streams?

Is there any room in this thread to discuss?
number 2 in uk in 2009 with 305,000 pures sales ( DVD&K7).

Ok, cool. I do find it surprising though. I could see Number Ones or HIStory or Dangerous selling well as they have a good reputation, but not Moonwalker.
