Michael Jackson Worldwide Chart Performance Thread

This is an amazing performance from T25. It just goes to show how wrong the 'critics' are in this country. Michaels music is still popular here, and always will be.

It makes me wonder just how even more huge this album would have been with videos to go with the singles. Regular rotation on music channels, here in the UK, really makes a difference to sales.

Can't wait for the new album!

Michael Jackson's 1982 album Thriller remains the bestselling LP of all time, with more than 3.7 million sales in the UK alone (over 50 million worldwide). The follow-up, 1987's Bad, is actually only 130,000 sales behind in the UK, with 3.57 million. 1991's Dangerous managed just under 2 million and 1995's HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book 1 sold 1.5 million.

The several compilations released since his last studio album, 2001's Invincible, have had mixed fortunes. 2001's Greatest Hits History: Vol. 1 sold 245,000 and only reached number 15 in the charts; 2003's Number Ones sold 1.5 million and, appropriately, went to No.1; while 2005's The Essential sold 275,000 and reached number two.

The albums with the * are the biggest sales gainers and with Mike having two in the top 10 it is awesome! I hope he drops a new album by the end of 2008.
