Michael Jackson will once again make music history next week as many of his albums are poised to shake up the Billboard charts with incredible sales increases.
“Number Ones” will fittingly lead the pack at No. 1 with sales of 108,000 (an increase of 2,340 percent) while “The Essential Michael Jackson” and “Thriller” are in the second and third slots with 102,000 and 101,000, respectively. Last week “Number Ones” was the only Jackson title on the chart, at No. 20 with 4,000 copies; both “Essential” and “Thriller” re-enter the tally this week.
Additionally, his classic 1979 studio set “Off the Wall” re-enters at No. 4 with 33,000 while his 1987 album “Bad” returns at No. 6 with 17,000. At No. 5, the Jackson 5’s “The Ultimate Collection” debuts with 18,000. Jackson’s fourth studio album for Epic Records, 1991’s “Dangerous,” re-enters at No. 7 with 14,000, and his 2001 compilation, “Greatest Hits: HIStory — Volume 1,” returns to the list at No. 8 with 12,000. Finally, Jackson’s 2004 box set, “The Ultimate Collection,” charts its first week on the Pop Catalog chart, arriving at No. 9 with 11,000.

already got them cd’s
TRUE M.J. fans already have his albums “Off the Wall”, “Thriller”, “Bad”, Dangerous, Blood on the Dance Floor….
I can see why a lot of these albums are greatest hits compilations. Its a shame he had to pass away for ppl to flock the record store or to download on itunes.
While y’all are at it, buy his concert footage and dvds…lol
Rest In Peace M.J.
I’ll be playing Off the Wall tonight which I bought when I was 17. Not last night.
The fear of record label politics and distribution rights is a great reason for people to go and purchase this music, because if things are not in order MJ’s library may end up closed to the public before long. Get it while you can, replace it if it’s scratched, and download it while the quality is best… Long live the legacy known as Michael Jackson… RIP…
9 out of 10… They wonder why he’s the King of Pop, who else could do that besides maybe Prince?
this is the first time i listened to the jackson 5 old stuff, and to late to change the time is my new favorite song, he was good i’ll give him that
well folks probably buying it for dudes kids
That is insane!!! 9 of the top 10 spots???
Right and all he had to do was die for those people to rush out and buy his albums, they should all be ashamed.
Good lord have mercy!
