there was some fans who were kinda upset because after Michael's passing people started to embrace his music and some think MJ Albums wouldn't have never sold well if he was still alive which is the part I never get, B/c i've always saved the old new archives from mjfc where there's always been proof his music was embraced even when they media try to paint him as an artist who's not it
(26-12-2008) According to Hits Daily Double, Michael Jackson is one of the 20 best-selling artists in the USA in 2008. The list considers combined sales of all releases.
The #1 spot went to AC/DC who released their first album of new material since 2000 - which appears to have fueled a widespread desire to pick up the band’s previous releases. Michael Jackson comes in at #15 with a total of 1.4 million units.
