THRILLER 25 SELLS OVER 2 MILLION

Worldwidealbums.net have listed the biggest selling albums of 2008 and Michael’s classic ‘Thriller’ album, which was updated to include remixes with some of today’s hottest artists, and a DVD of some of Michael’s most memorable performances, has entered this list at number 2, with sales over two million.

Thriller 25 was released in early February this year and has already sold a total of 2,098,400 copies worldwide.

My guess is that it's a mixture of fans (casual and diehards), closet fans who slunk out of the woodwork for a piece of history, and altho some may not want to admit it, Kanye fans, Akon fans, Will.I.Am fans and Fergie fans. Those people bought it to have a piece of their fave artists. MJ fans often buy things with just fragments of MJ in them, the fans of those artists probably do the same...and did. The best thing about it is that those fans finally had a chance to experience Michael, whereas before they may not have been interested. The fact that Number Ones shot up the chart along with T25 means those newbies liked what they heard and wanted more MJ. Yay!

I know some fans hated the idea and still loathe it that Akon and Fergie are on T25, but the fact remains, their appearance on the CD hasn't hurt it. Now, that's not to say MJ "needed" them. That's not what I'm saying before the "MJ doesn't NEEEEED :chichi: anybody clan" jump on me. :fear: It just seems as if Michael wanted to reach a wider audience and, like it or not, he was successful in doing that. Remember, T25 is a re-re-release. This one obviously made more of a difference than the others.

Now those newbies have been prepped for the main event. :shifty:
