Michael Jackson Scans 4.2 million in USA Over The Past 2 Years

As first reported by MJJForum yesterday, Michael Jackson has scanned over 4 million units in the United States over the past two years. MJJForum can now confirm the exact total as of this writing is 4,210,280 units. The following list represents the exact USA Soundscan breakdown of Michael Jackson's material over the past two years and four months:

Off The Wall (Special Edition) - 182,750 units
Thriller (Special Edition) - 509,480 units
Bad (Special Edition) - 173,920 units
Dangerous (Special Edition) - 97,350 units
Greatest Hits - HIStory Volume I: 677,550 units
Invincible - 2,070,340 units
Number Ones - 500,000 units

Please note the above totals only take into account Epic material released from October 15, 2001 onwards. The regular edition of Michael's Epic studio albums as well as his Motown catalog could easily bring the 4.2 million figure significantly higher.

Hi Mnw4lk3r - Yes, as andreus confirmed, the platinum certification in Europe includes the UK. Since a source at Sony Music UK has confirmed that 1.65 million units have now been shipped in that territory, one would think that European shipments well exceed 2 million units by now, therefore, a 2X platinum certification in Europe should hopefully be happening soon.

For those living in the UK, keep a close eye on the "Breathe, Don't Stop" from Mr On V Jungle Brothers song, that I believe is due to be released on 26th January.

Basically they sample "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" (although I prefer the Q-Tip version from 2 years ago). Although, this song might not seriosuly spike the "Number Ones" album in the UK, it still might have a positive influence on it. Why, because "samples" and cover versions due sometimes encourage others to buy the original material.

A good example can be seen this week. The band Tears For Fears has entered in at No.6 in the UK Album Charts, with a Greatest Hits Album. However, it is almost certain that Michael Andrews & Gary Jules's cover Version of their "Mad World" song from the film "Donnie Darko" movie (which ended up being Christmas No.1 on the UK Singles Chart, with high sales) may have had a positive effect on the Tears for Fears album sales. By this, I mean that the Tears For Fears may not have entered in the Top 10 albums if it wasn't for this.
