GREAT NEWS.

20 million albums sold in one year with only one brand new song is nothing short of AMAXING.

It's all for Love. L.O.V.E.

she won because her fans took plenty of time to vote. In any case the u.s has been pretty crazy over swift this year (and those were the american music awards, not international) but in all honestly she ain't that big a deal in other countries, at least that's what I've noticed.
 
This is fantastic. Lets see if the media reports about it.

It was down to public vote on the AMA website. There were more votes for Taylor Swift, thats all.
 
Michael has 8 albums in the top best selling albums of the year and Taylor Swift only has one. YET, Taylor Swift won artist of the year? Bullshit. Public vote my ass.
Don't really care anymore...


Great news though. Michael's legacy continues to grow stronger everyday. He will never die. Kings never die. It just goes to show how universally loved Michael still is.

me too. the only reason he had a huge surge this year is because he "went away".

i'd rather be hearing the amazing news of his brand new album.

Of course Michael's sales saw a huge surge this year because of his passing, but his catalogue has always sold well. Don't listen to the media. His catalogue has always been a big seller and "Thriller 25" sold very well when it was released.
 
lady gaga album has been out since 2008 .. weird ... w.e YAY MJ!!
 
michael proved once again that people do buy CDs (if they're worth it). god bless his soul
 
Once again MJ saves the Music Industry.

Kanye was right about her.

She cannot sing (she is no beyonce and both of them 2gether are no MJ)

I thought this B4 she "won" Artist of the year. No way she got more votes than MJ; because sales show otherwise. But like with The Beatles, Madonna and Elvis whenever there is a ranking the industry promotes anyone before MJ. He would have "lost" to Hanna/Montana if she were nominated. Only the dollars keep things honest. TII is the No.1 musical movie. MJ is th No.1 selling artist of 2009 period.
 
The Kanye incident helped Taylor Swift become more famous and more well known than she was before. Everyone knows that MJ is the artist of the year-but with things like the AMAs its all down to people power and its teenage girls that are the demographic that vote for these things.
 
Yeah. Taylor would have to thank Kanye A LOT !!
 
I'd like to see this same list but for the entire decade - I can bet MJ will take the top spot!
 
WHO the hell is she????????? never eard about.. I eard now that I saw her name here and I must tell you....... WTF? :puke:
OMG the world is lost.
I WANT MJ back:angel:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 Cent's Self Destruct Is Lowest Chart Debut Of His Career

John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli, Norah Jones, Casting Crowns all outsell 50's latest on Billboard albums chart.

By Gil Kaufman

  • Views4,879
In a stunning turnabout, 50 Cent will notch the lowest chart debut of his career next week when his long-delayed Before I Self Destruct lands at #5 on comparatively soft sales of 160,000. After his first two albums hit #1, selling 872,000 (Get Rich or Die Tryin') and 1.15 million (The Massacre), and 2007's Curtis sold 691,000 following an infamous chart battle with Kanye West, this fifth-place finish is a major comedown.
Who bested the once-dominant G-Unit General? According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, Twitter-lover John Mayer's Battle Studies took the top spot with sales of 286,000, followed by My Christmas by tenor Andrea Bocelli (185,000), the debut of Norah Jones' rock-tinged Fall (180,000) and Christian rock group Casting Crowns' Until the Whole World Hears (167,000).
The only other debut in the top 10 is from currently hobbled Canadian cutie Justin Bieber, whose My World comes in at #6 (137,000). The rest of the top 10 are: Michael Jackson's This Is It (#7, 96,000), the "New Moon" soundtrack (#8, 93,000 on a 77 percent uptick in business thanks to the opening of the movie), Carrie Underwood's Play On (86,000) and Taylor Swift's Fearless (84,000).
Just barely aced out of next week's top 10 is "American Idol" winner Kris Allen, whose self-titled debut lands softly at #11, giving him the dubious distinction of having the lowest-charting first week for an "Idol" winner in the show's history. Allen is also likely to get pushed down further next week when headline-grabbing runner-up Adam Lambert's debut, For Your Entertainment, makes its chart bow.
Further down the line, rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures fly into the #12 spot with their self-titled debut (70,000). Leona Lewis' second album, Echo, is right behind at #13 (67,000). People also appeared to sleep on OneRepublic's sophomore effort, Waking Up (#19, 39,000), and Janet Jackson's greatest-hits collection Number Ones is far from it at #20 (37,000). Way down at #68, Fall Out Boy also had few takers for their greatest-hits album, Believer's Never Die, which sold less than 11,000 copies.
It was a very short stay at the top for Jersey rockers Bon Jovi, whose The Circle shed 69 percent of its first week business to drop from #1 to #18 on sales of 50,000, which is just a bit steeper than the dive taken by Flyleaf, whose Memento Mori drops 28 spots to #36 in week two (20,000). Proving that couch-humping and girl-kissing will only get you so far, the self-titled latest from Pretty Ricky barely made a dent, debuting at #85 on sales just shy of 9,000. Meanwhile, Katy Perry's Katy Perry: MTV Unplugged whispers in at #134 (5,000).
Then again, most of that won't matter next week when the top 10 is sure to get a Black Friday-assisted makeover thanks to chart debuts by half a dozen biggies, including Lady Gaga, Shakira, Rihanna, Susan Boyle and Lambert. The competition for the top spots will also heat up thanks to a recent Billboard top 200 rule change that will now allow albums that have been out for more than 18 months and don't have a current single at radio to vie for a spot on the chart, spurred by strong sales this year from back-catalog albums from the Beatles and Michael Jackson.

she's a country music artist, and country music is very popular in the u.s. It's really no surprise she won this year.
But who cares really? taylor = artist of the year MJ = artist of the century!
 
Michael has always been a world artist...

That's what sets the superstars from the icons...

MJ is it! Has always been and always will be.....
