Just to keep everybody up to speed on MJ's global record sales since his death, I have been recording album, digital download, dvd, and ringtone sales. You will be amazed of the numbers I am about to post. Remember, if anything these numbers are conservative and are only based on factual numbers from countries who publicly release music data. In reality, these numbers are probably 15-20% lower then actual sales but it's the best I can do without being accused of inflating the figures.

*Numbers are from June 25th-August 30th 2009. The last week sales figures for the US or Globally have not been included.

Albums= 13 MILLION
Digital Downloads= 16 MILLION
DVD's= 3 MILLION
RINGTONES= 3 MILLION

TOTAL UNIT SALES SINCE DEATH: 35 MILLION
 
Also, official RIAA numbers for sales in the US came out today, Jackson actually had the #2 and #9 best selling albums in the country. HitsDailyDouble's numbers were way off, Thriller actually surged over 30%, selling 35,000 copies and came in at #9 in the best albums chart.

Total album sales in the US for this week were up 10% to 210,000.

Where do you get the numbers for the weekly DVD sales. Could you do some research and go back to the time of Jackson's death to see the exact amount of DVD's he has sold in the US. I cannot get an exact number. Thanks

Does anyone else out there think that Michael is going to break all records again by end of year? The fact that Number One's has now sold as many copies as Off the Wall, back in 1982, when Michael Jackson had the highest selling album of all time by a black artist seems to pale in comparison to the heights he has attained in both life and after. His music will obviously live on. The number of digital downloads alone is mind boggling. Can you imagine what the total numbers would be if file-sharing sites, FTP, and torrents didn't yet exist?!?!?! I guarantee you the numbers would be three times what they are now.

JACKSON'S ACTION

Hi Gary,

I am a member of the MJJ Community Fanclub (www.mjjcommunity.com), and I was wondering how many albums Michael Jackson has sold since his death June 25.

Thanks for all your help,

Travis DeMaria


Hi Travis,

Since Jackson's passing through Aug. 30, Jackson's solo albums have sold 4.74 million in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. He has sold 8.34 million digital tracks in same span of time.

As Billboard 200 chart manager Keith Caulfield recently noted, Jackson's total album sales since his death are greater than what his catalog sold between all of 2004 and 2008 (3.9 million).

Year-to-date, Jackson's "Number Ones" has passed Taylor Swift's "Fearless" as 2009's top-selling album. The former set has sold 1,688,000 copies, the latter 1,642,000.
 
I wrote in that question to him haha, glad to see he answered it! Although my question was a tad more complex, he cut it down. So solo albums account for 4.74 million plus J-5 material and we are almost at 5 million. That's exactly what I thought.

Including J5 album sales I think it is more likely 5.5-6 million albums sold in US alone!
 
I've calculated J-5 album sales which are only 250,000 since his death, which would take his total sales to 5 million which is still amazing. I expect this number to surge to 6 million by years end with the busy Halloween and Christmas season approaching plus publicity with the This Is It movie coming out Oct 28th.

This stops at #20, where are the other 20 albums?
 
What I find weird and ridiculous is that jackson5 albums and Michaels first solo albums are totally ignored by people/fans and ignored with any promo of Motown!!!

What the hell is wrong with that?

Michaels young, strong and beautiful (and crystal high) voice is totally fucked off by Greatest hits shits of the 80 and 90s...!

people and media should listen to Got to be there, never can say goodbye, music and Me, ... and so on...

damn...

I know I am missing lots of DVD sales in that total. I do not have access to all the DVD totals globally, and I know his DVD's have been flying off the shelves all around the world. I would imagine my figure of 3 million is VERY conservative. It also does not include single sales, but in today's environment 90% of singles are basically digital downloads. Very little singles in stores are purchased so that number would be very low.

#6. Thriller (107,000)
#12. Number Ones (84,000)
