Still the King


Weeks after his death, Michael Jackson is still dominating pop culture news and the music world. Although I had said earlier that Demi Lovato had the #1 album in the US this week, it's M.J. who actually has the best selling album.

His 2003 best-of set Number Ones sold 154,000 this week, compared to Lovato's 107,000. The only reason why Jackson isn't #1 this week is because his album is too old, and Billboard has rules in place that says only recently released albums can qualify for the Billboard 200.

This blog won't go into the crazy details surrounding his death. For now we will focus on his legacy, and the fact that he was one of the, or THE biggest pop start ever to live.
