Michael Jackson Sales Continue To Thrill
by Paul Cashmere
Michael Jackson's back catalogue is continuing to sell consistently during his trial.
In the last 3 months, the Jackson catalogue has sold a further 195,597 units with 'Thriller' accounting 56,117 of those sales.
'Thriller' received it's last Platinum certification in 2000 when it achieved sales of 26 million in the USA.
The special edition version of the album released in 2001 has sold an additional 799,635 units. It still trails The Eagles 'Their Greatest Hits' which was certified 28 times platinum in 2002 for sales of more than 28 million units.
However, Jackson is outselling both Madonna and his sister Janet. The Madonna catalogue has turned over 88,057 units in the last three months. Michael's sister Janet Jackson has sold 48,655 units in the same period.
Madonna's biggest selling albums to date are 'Like A Virgin' and 'The Immaculate Collection'. Both have sold 10 million plus.
Janet's biggest albums are 'Rhythm Nation' and 'Janet'. Both have sold 6 million plus in the USA.

Jackson album sales rise by 370%
15/06/2005 - 4:48:51 PM
Sales of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits album have shot up by 370% since the singer was acquitted of charges of child sex abuse, it was revealed today.
Sales of the Number Ones compilation, released in 2003, increased yesterday, the first full day following the trial verdict.
But the trebling of demand does not mean the King of Pop’s albums are flying off the shelves.
The huge percentage increase results from the fact that, before the verdict, sales were at a very low base.
HMV could not reveal how many albums were sold yesterday, but spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “Sales of his greatest hits album at HMV stores have increased by 370%.
“Michael Jackson sales start from a low base so any increases are bound to seem more spectacular than is the case in actual terms.
“There has been a bit of a pick-up but it’s too early to make any predictions about a surge in Michael Jackson sales.”
He added: “With the right album, perhaps in collaboration with America’s leading R’n’B artists and producers, Jackson can rebuild his credibility and become commercially successful once again.
“Like Madonna, Jackson needs to find a way of developing his musical style and to grow with his audience, so that he reconnects with the mainstream record-buying public.”
