According to a recent Morning Consult poll, a huge chunk of the US population is interested in seeing the MJ biopic. Moreso than any other celebrity they polled. And a staggering 75% of Gen Z, and 67% of Millennials are interested in the movie.
Michael Jackson has appeal among all age groups. He has it all… major legendary talent, controversy, scandal, and a story everyone grew up following. MJ has a uniqueness that no other celebrity can compete with. Some people think he’s guilty, others think he’s innocent. This stuff gets everyone...
Thriller has actually sold 3 million copies in Canada (3x Diamond). Any album released before 2008 has different criteria than the newer albums.
So to reach Diamond after 2008 you need to sell 800K copies. Before 2008= 1 million.

It's the only 3X Diamond album in Canada, meaning its the biggest selling album in the country.
Thriller 40 is only 2000 sales away from hitting #5. We still have two full days left of charting. Try to reach out to all fans and friends to buy this album!
Another post on MJ's certifications from RIAA. This time specifically referring to albums. Right now he's been certified for US sales of 89 million albums. This list is mostly up to date, but there are some missing sales. As of today they are as follows:
-Off The Wall has just passed 10X...
A little tidbit. The Chicago TikTok trend has really taken off. By end of year Chicago will be eligible for GOLD status from RIAA. Already at 400K in sales in US alone. This would be the 2nd single from Xscape to be certified.
LNFSG is officially platinum, but once updated it will become 4X...
I love Nightline! I find it very catchy. The version I have is pretty muffled and its still good. I can only imagine how it sounds all remastered and polished up.
One thing Im hearing that is really disappointing me... Nite Line and Hot Street will not be on Thriller 40. If true, it will be a huge gut punch given those two songs are among the best cuts for the Thriller era and both deserve a re-mastering.
The funny thing is even with the media totally ignoring the broadway, acting like it doesn’t exist, AND with the all the reviews talking about the allegations… the show is still sold out every single day. It’s one of the highest grossing broadways in NYC, won 4 Tony Awards, and has celebrities...
Michael was probably inspired by a chord or something Buxer showed him. Then got inspired and did 90% of the work fleshing it out and building the song into what it became. We know MJ did 100% of the lyrics, and contributed greatly to the production. I don't doubt that Buxer likely had the...
Then maybe you need to take a break from the fan community. Because this is where we are right now. MJ is a controversial figure and has been accused of some horrible stuff. It only makes sense that many people out there will have gone on the record saying some things the fans don't approve of...
