Musicologist Geoff Roberts discussed the King of Pop's surge in downloads.
According to MTV.co.uk he said: 'Michael Jackson has always been a pop music legend.
'But the anniversary of his death and birthday celebrations seem to have revived Jackson fever as fans rediscover his – making him the most popular solo artist of all time.'
Michael was surprisingly most popular in India, where he makes up 26 per cent of the country's total Ovi downloads, followed by the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Finland.
Jackson's tune Beat It is the most downloaded, with songs Billie Jean and Thriller close behind.

Michael Jackson is the world's most downloaded artist, according to new figures.

The Nokia Ovi Music Store data puts the late King of Pop ahead of the likes of Lady GaGa, Elvis Presley, the Black Eyed Peas and Rihanna, reports MTV.

Jackson is most popular in India - where 26 per cent of all Ovi downloads are of his tracks - according to the mobile phone firm.

The surge in popularity of tracks such as 'Beat It', 'Billie Jean' and 'Thriller' has been attributed to the anniversary of his death on June 25 and his 52nd birthday, which would have been celebrated on Sunday (August 29).

According to reports, Snoop performed multiple Jackson hits.
It wasn't just another day in the park for Snoop Dogg, who showed up to Spike Lee's 2nd Annual "Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson" Birthday Celebration in Brooklyn's Prospect Park to pay tribute to the King of Pop on what would have been his 52nd birthday. Snoop performed his hits remixed with MJ's classics and was given a sparkly glove, which he plans to take back to Cali. (Rap-Up)​
The rap mogul also opened up about his admiration for the late singer.
"His music, his spirit represented love and peace around the whole world and it influenced me and what I do, so for me to come through, it's just showing love and respect and paying homage to a great artist who meant so much to music in general and the people." (New York Daily News)​
Prior to the event taking place, Brooklyn's own, Fabolous, discussed his hometown's appreciation for Jackson's legacy.
"I mean Brooklyn is just one of the many places across the world who lived Mike's music and, you know, Spike is probably one of those people that felt like it was only just die to give him his props in BK." (Rap Fix)​
Last year, Lee began his annual "Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson" event.
DJ Spinna played a roughly five-hour set, with Lee and other famous Brooklynites and Jackson fans cutting in -- including Ed Lover and Tracy Morgan introducing crowd karaoke to 'Black or White,' 'The Way You Make You Feel,' and 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin.' People got the lyrics, but just waved the cards in excitement at the wrong time, despite Lee's attempts to dissuade them: 'You gotta wait till your part comes up! Put it down!' (Wall Street Journal)​

Nice video. Great to see Snoop Dog make a MJ tribute. And Spike Lee seems soo wonderful. Rep. Al Sharpton is a great talker. :)

Hmm, I wonder does it matter that Nokia is a Finnish company? I don't know, I just wouldn't have thought we're on top of that.

I love the pic of Michael in the first post ^_^
 
Those are sure some great news to come along with his birthday.
