I don’t know if I’ll be sticking with doing this silly little feature every week but I did do it last week as well. I’m particularly interested in this week’s album charts because this is the first week since way back in 1991 that older albums are allowed to be included in the Billboard 200 [...]

As I noted many times when writing about the huge sales for Michael Jackson‘s albums in the weeks following his death, Billboard only allowed newer albums to be included on their Billboard 200 chart. Because of this, MJ’s Number Ones was kept off of it’s rightful place as the #1 album of the week for [...]

The This Is It documentary (on the preparation for the Jackson concert series that never happened) was the #1 movie in the US last week and now the accompanying This Is It soundtrack (which is essentially another “greatest hits” package with the title track being the only new song) debuted at #1 on the US [...]

In many theaters around the US (and in Canada) Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” film is opening at midnight tonight. I recommend checking “the Google” to see if it’s playing at one of your local theaters. “This Is It” was going to be a worldwide tour beginning with a series of 50 concerts in London [...]

I was thinking: “I wonder how many of the 200 albums on the Billboard 200 are by artists I dig?” This may seem like a rather thin concept for a blog post, but compared to a lot of the crap I post here, this is brilliant! #002 Twilight Soundtrack No, I’m not a fan of [...]

A new Michael Jackson single will be unveiled on October 12th on his official website. The song is titled “This Is It” and it features backing vocals by his brothers. The song will be included on a new compilation album being released on October 27th. It closes out disc 1 one of the double disc [...]

The movie premieres at midnight on Wednesday, October 28th (Tuesday night) and is running for just two weeks. The following is from the movie’s PR: Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT will offer Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a [...]

Today would have been Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday as he was born on August 29, 1958 but as everyone knows, Jackson died just over two months ago on June 25, 2009. Since his death Jackson has been selling albums at an extremely fast pace. He was at #1 on the UK album charts for 8 [...]

Today Michael Jackson extended his posthumous streak of being at #1 on the UK album charts to eight weeks (with The Essential Michael Jackson greatest hits compilation.) This week he beat out Beyonce at #2, Black Eyed Peas at #3, Paolo Nutini at #4, and a newly released remastered version of The Stone Roses self [...]

Michael Jackson has been at #1 on the UK album charts for all seven weeks since his death on June 25th and with the new Billboard numbers out today he’s made it 6 out of 7 weeks in the US (there was one week where he was at #2 behind Daughtry’s 2nd album.) Number Ones [...]
