Thriller and BAD are marching up the all time UK sellers with Thriller now the 6th best seller in the UK all time and rapidly growing, BAD is now the 7th best seller slot rising from no.10 where it was at the end of 2008.
 
The NEW UK top 5 is:

1. (1) THE ESSENTIAL (Michael Jackson) 17 wks

2. (2) LUNGS (Florence & The Machine) 5 wks

3. (3) THE E.N.D. (Black Eyed Peas) 9 wks

4. (4) SUNNY SIDE UP (Paolo Nutini) 10 wks

5. (12) I AM…SASHA FIERCE (Beyoncé) 38 wks


So that's now 6 weeks at No.1 for 'The Essential'! :punk:
And 1 week at No.1 for 'Number Ones' before that. SO 7 WEEKS AT NO.1 FOR MJ Since 25th June!

Nope.

It's 6 weeks at number 1 for 'The Essential', plus the 1 week for 'Number Ones' - so that's 7 weeks at the top which breaks the previous John Lennon record for posthumous weeks at number 1. :punk:

I notice that despite Vince not seeing the massive sales of some other MJ albums since Mike's death, it's sales have been very steady and haven't fallen off anywhere near as much. In fact it's sales increased.
This is it's mediatraffic world chart run for the past 6 weeks:

Chart position, sales
27, 50000
18, 74000
20, 65000
15, 69000
13, 69000
13, 72000



Using mediatraffic, Vince sold a total of 258000 in the past 6 weeks, and all MJ albums have sold 11.2 million since his death. If we add on sales prior to 25th June and sales not counted by mediatraffic I presume we could say that MJ has sold 12 - 12.5 million albums this year!
