Jackson makes posthomous chart history in the US
July 3, 2009
London: Pop legend Michael Jackson has made a posthomous chart history in America by claiming the top nine spots on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Albums countdown since his sudden death last week.
For the first time in Billboard history, the evergreen Catalog Albums chart-topper sold more than the number one album on the Billboard 200 countdown. In fact, the new chart's top three albums - "Jackson's Number Ones", "The Essential Michael Jackson" and "Thriller" have all outsold the Black Eyed Peas' new cut "The E.N.D.", reports imdb.com
The only non Jackson album in the Catalog chart top 10 this week is a reissue of the "Woodstock" movie soundtrack, which debuts at 10.
Eight of the nine albums in the top 10 are Jackson solo albums and one is a Jackson 5 hits compilation.
The King of Pop's "Number Ones" claims the top spot 108,000 sales - an increase of 2,340 percent. The "The Essential Michael Jackson" and "Thriller" also topped 100,000 sales.
Completing the new top pop Catalog album top five is Jackson's "Off the Wall" and the Jackson 5's "The Ultimate Collection".
Jackson's solo albums sold a collective 415,000 this past week - more than 400,000 more than the week leading up to his death June 25 in Los Angeles.
The moonwalker also claims six of the top 10 spots in the new Top Digital Albums chart, which is led by "The Essential Michael Jackson"
