Michael Jackson's Incredible Achievements.

wow I felt really good coming to this thread today!!
look at what Michael has done! I always knew but reviewing it again is really sth!!:X:X:X:X:X
 
Yes Michael has done so much in the world but the truth is. When hes gone What he will be remembered for is the negative. people wont remember the good he has done and im just stating a fact here so dont bite me head off.

They will mention the good but in the same breath they will drudge up his negative past that will be what people remember most. The Trials and B hanging from a balcony.

I will remember Michael for so much more then the list of things positive he has done. Some of the things he has done wont be on a positive list for people. He will be remembered for his music in MANY different ways.

I hate to be so honest but Michael is loved and hated all at the same time.

How weird is it that you just said that two days before his death?
 
Michael Jackson shall be loved, admired, honoured, appreciated, thanked by all generations for all the OUTSTANDING GOOD HE DID in every field! Amen
 
So what other records has been broken since his death?

I need a list.

Amazing. Are these all records still held by Michael? For example, History is still the highest-grossing tour today?
 
Updated worldwide sales figures for MJ during 2009 (sales up to Dec 6th);

TH 3,321,206
1's 3,101,621
Ess 2,575,450
TII 2,305,956
KOP 1,717,156
Bad 1,715,122
Dan 1,455,404
OTW 1,423,203
INV 796,874
His 732,455
J5/Jack 1,667,916

Total Since 25/06 = 20,812,363

Jan-June = 600,000 (minimum)

Grand Total = 21,412,363 (minimum)

There are some MJ solo album sales missing from these figures (BOTD, 18 Greatest Hits, Ben, etc.), where I have not been able to gather enough information, but these will only be a small percentage in comparision to the overall total.

A lot of the abve figures will be based on sales in the 'Major' countries (US, UK, Ger, Japan, France, Canada, Netherlands, etc.) with an additional 10% 'average' added for missing countries. This very often underestimates MJ's sales - as he sales well above the 'average' in most foreign territories - so the above figures can be taken as 'minimum' totals.

No, I'm afraid you're wrong on that one. Madonna holds the record for the highest grossing concert by a solo artist with her Sticky n' Sweet tour. Plus didn't the Rolling Stones break the HIStory tour's attendance record with their tour in 2005? Or am I mixing things up? :scratch:

Shut up please tell me you are joking. :mello:

This scares me.

What the ...., now im scared for Michael.
 
Another thing i find interesting is the industry records MJ broke at a cretin time in his career.

Now i have to ask, how many records in the music business did Elvis break about 10 years into his solo career?

Because by 1989 MJ already had(NOTE: These are not all of the records broken by MJ by this time. These are just some of the BIG ones he had during this time period. If I did AL his record then we would be here for a while.)

- The Biggest Selling album of all time (Thriller- 50 million at the time)

- The second biggest selling album of all time (Bad- 26 million at the time)

- The Largest recording artist of the last decade and possibly more (110 million during the 80's)

- The Biggest selling music home video of all time (Moonwalker- 3 million)

- The second biggest selling music home video of all time (The Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller- 3 million)

- winning most Grammies in a year (8 in 1984)

- The largest grossing tour of all time (Bad World Tour-$125 million)

- The tour attended by more people than any tour in history (Bad World Tour- 4.4 million people)

- The First and only album to yield 5 #1 singles (Bad album)

- The first album to go to #1 in 25 countries (Bad album)

- And 15 #1 hits by this time.(including Jackson 5 and We Are The World)
----------

Now these are records broken all the way up uintil 1989.

OBVIOUSLY he has broken plenty more in the years to come with Dangeorus, HIStory, and Invincible.

But this just goes to show that by 1989 ALONE, MJ no longer needed to prove himself as a musical legend or an icon in the business.

HE has literally done it all by 1989. But there was still more to come. Plus the fact that this was all achieved by one person is amazing.

But now I have to ask. Did Elvis ever have all of these kinds of records broken about 10 years into his solo career?

I HIGHLY doubt that. MJ surpassed him by 1989. LEt alone 2009.

#5: Thriller (4,000,000)

If This Is It was a world tour like Madonna's Sticky n Sweet Tour..then I'm sure it would beat Madonna's tour and be the highest grossing tour for a solo artist..
