Nokia has revealed that Michael Jackson is the most downloaded act across the 36 markets its Ovi Music store is live in.

He is most popular in India, with the country accounting for 26% of all Jackson-related downloads. The UK was second (15%), followed by Germany (10%), The Netherlands (7%) and Finland (7%).

Beat It emerged as the most popular song from a catalogue of 533 Jackson tracks. This Is It was the most popular Jackson album on Ovi Music, outselling the next most popular album at a rate of 2:1.

Last week, Nokia announced that it was rebranding its unlimited mobile music service Comes With Music as Ovi Music Unlimited.

Michael Jackson Most Downloaded Artist of All Time

Michael Jackson continues to set records even after his death. According to new records, the King of Pop is the most downloaded artist of all time.

Musicologist Geoff Roberts from Nokia's Ovi Music Store that conducted the search says, "Michael Jackson has always been a pop music legend. But the anniversary of his death and upcoming birthday celebrations seem to have revived Jackson fever as fans rediscover his songs - making him the most popular solo artist of all time."

He beats out Lady Gaga, Elvis, the Black Eyed Peas and Rihanna for the most downloads. But the U.S. still isn’t where he’s the most popular—it’s India!

There, Michael accounts for 26 per cent of the country's entire Ovi downloads, followed by the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Finland.

They don’t call him the King of Pop for nothing! Other artists may be at the top of the charts right now, but it takes a superstar to stay there even after death.
