Thriller 40th Anniversary

Well hell...Wouldn't that go for leaked songs,multitracks & etc that we share here as well. We are not supposed have any of that stuff. When t40 leaks dropped...this was the 1st place so...idk what you're making of this 1
Leaked songs/multitracks and a finished album that you can buy at any digital or physical store are entirely separate things. T40 leaks weren’t permitted here; admins even encouraged us to not share them in our inboxes.
 
Someone have a rip of the new MOFI SACD?
Not allowed here, its commercially released, so its under copyright as people explained. Don't do that in private messages either.

If its not officially released, its not yet under copyright, that's what Gaz told me, I can't claim to understand all details of copyright rules. Good way is to check Youtube to see if there is a copyright claim on the material.

Gotcha. Makes since
 
I'm surprised that T40 wasn't a flop given how the Estate refused to promote it. I'm really happy that's the case though since that means we can get more albums in the future, Bad 40 and a new studio album is an absolute dream of mine.
Maybe it is a flop, depends on a lot more than a 1 week chart position. Next week it will drop off most charts probably. If bad 25 is deemed a flop then so will T40.

T40 was a 2-disc set with limited promotion that reached the top 10. B25 had several configurations, three remixes by high-profile producers, a Pepsi deal, and a release party featuring performances by Ne-Yo and others, and it didn’t even reach the top 20.

T40 is gonna plummet next week because that’s the nature of reissues, but it’s not nearly the underperformance B25 was.

Good to know.

This will probably teach the Estate to do the bare minimum for reissues then lol. Better than no new releases I guess.
 
don't expect anniversaries for other albums.
I strongly believe HIStory 30 will be next and maybe Bad 40 if the Estate is generous enough. As for albums like Dangerous and Invincible though yeah they absolutely will never happen lmao. It's a huge bummer though, they could do some interesting stuff with those albums...

But why History and not Dangerous? Solely because of the HQ History Tour concert? They could even easily focus additionally on Dangerous including a re-release of Dangerous Tour Bucharest or so.

Pretty much. They did actually have plans for HIStory 25 but it got shelved because of Covid.

It seems like the Estate wants to focus on the HIStory tour because it's the only concert filmed in HQ, surround sound and multiple camera angles. I don't know though, I'd love to see other albums get anniversary editions just as much as anyone. Imagine how amazing it would be if we got Black Or White and Who Is It in 4k, unreleased Bryan Loren tracks and GOANL in HQ for Dangerous 25-30.

Dont think we need Bad40 tbh. Dont we already have all the demos from those sessions? Dangerous should have gotten some treatment for the 30th. I'm much more interested in a Dangerous doc with maybe new studio & rehearsal footage in HQ. Maybe even a remastered or re edited dangerous tour show (preferably wembley imo)

Even though B25 was a "flop" it still sold out at the HMV I purchased it from (I was lucky to get the last one). If they found the wembley film the project definitely would have been more successful imo.

Thriller will always be successful especially during halloween. That's why they barely promoted it. I really hope they surprise us with Billie Jean in HD but you learn not to get your hope's up with this estate.
 
what is that type of chart? what does catalog album mean?
 
HIStory tour release will further damage MJ's legacy.
I do not think so. It´s a release for fans who wants to have a history-tour-concert. Maybe there will be another thread in this forum about lip-singing, lol. BTW a few years ago history-concert München was every year on TV in germany silvester and after that people went on the amzon-side to bye everthing from Michael.
