This week is saturated in Michael Jackson news, with the release of his "This Is It" album, and movie of the same name.
Industry experts are saying that the new album could sell anywhere between 300,000-350,000 copies this week, good enough to earn Jackson his 6th #1 album. And with advance ticket sales for his movie, it looks like he could pull a double #1, with predictions that film will top the box office this weekend.
Pretty impressive, even for the King of Pop. M.J. already has the top selling album of the year; after his death his album "Number Ones" sold a massive 2 million copies, ahead of the years other top selling artist, Taylor Swift.
Although this is impressive, it is kind of sad that a dead pop star is selling more than any new artist this year...

I was watching some reviews and it seemed like actual critics didn't like the movie so I'm wondering if all of the people they interviewed saying it was amazing would have liked anything with MJ in it.
