MAKE 'INVINCIBLE' VISIBLE
Thousands of Michael Jackson fans have accused Sony Music of deliberately sabotaging the promotional campaign of the singer's latest album, dotmusic can exclusively reveal.
'Invincible', released October 2001, has fallen from worldwide album charts and a growing army of fans are blaming Jackson's record label for what they claim is a calculated lack of promotion.
'Make Invincible Visible' (MIV), an association of aggrieved fans, have now launched their campaign on the internet and have contacted dotmusic in an effort to "make people aware of the situation".
According to the group, Sony Music have stopped promoting 'Invincible' in an bid to suffocate Jackson financially.
In 1995, Jackson was said to have negotiated a loan with the record label as an advance on forthcoming sales of 'Invincible'.
As part of the deal, Jackson merged his ATV Music Publishing catalogue (which includes the Beatles back-catalogue) with Sony Music Publishing. He is reported to have pocketed $95 million from deal.
MIV now claim that Sony Music are pressuring Jackson to refund the loan, and simultaneously strangling his main source of income through non-promotion of the album.
The association believe Sony are hoping to lay claim to Jackson's valuable share of ATV/Sony Music Publishing. The share would fall into their hands if Jackson was unable to repay the loan.
MIV have listed a chronology of alleged facts that document the 'feud' between Jackson and Sony Music. Read them HERE.
They claim: "Sony Music are trying to suffocate Michael Jackson financially. They are preventing him from properly promoting his album in order to obtain his share of the ATV Publishing catalog [sic]."
"This manoeuvre is unfair. It is plain sabotage. 'Invincible' is a great album."
"As Michael Jackson fans, we have been watching helplessly the killing of the 'Invincible' album. Until now."
Sony Music have so far declined to comment.
