Michael Jackson Worldwide Chart Performance Thread

Thanks Amit for your tireless efforts, here is more info from the ask Billboard section at http://www.billboard.com/bb/ask/index.jsp


OFF THE CATALOG

Hey Keith,

I am a rather big fan of Michael Jackson. In 2001, the first of his four albums as a solo artist, "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad" and "Dangerous," were re-released as special editions. However, I have never been able to find sales numbers for them. I don't recall any of them re-entering the top 100 (on The Billboard 200 albums chart), so I was wondering if you knew how many they sold?

Thanks!

Matt Walton

Hi Matt,

On Oct. 16, 2001, Epic re-released expanded editions of four Michael Jackson albums, each with bonus material that included unreleased songs. The four albums were considered catalog and not new albums for the purposes of Billboard's charts, thus making them only eligible to appear on the Top Pop Catalog chart.

Each title reached the Top Pop Catalog albums tally upon the re-release, led by "Thriller" at No. 3. "Off the Wall" reached No. 7, "Bad" climbed to No. 8 and "Dangerous" made it to No. 34.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, "Thriller" has sold 536,000 copies since the new version appeared, while "Off the Wall" has moved 192,000, "Bad" has sold 177,000 and 99,000 copies of "Dangerous" have been sold.
