I really don't understand how a Michael Jackson CD, marred in controversy or not, can sell so low in the USA. I know it wasn't MJ's biggest market in his later years, but it is still craziness to me! How exactly did this happen?!?!
hollywood tonight debuts on rnb/hip hop billboard chart

Actually it debuted last week. This week it is #75.
^^^^^
Appartently just over a million
The album has so far sold less than 1.5 million copies globally and sales of the first single were less than expected by Jacksons record company. The song "Hollywood Tonight" also failed to perform well on the charts, and this has caused some concern for Sony music.

Someone is very quick writting things in wikipedia. the single is just been released. it takes up to few weeks to enter the charts and climb up.

Taking Over Now is also a major success on the Commercial Pop chart, jumping 16-2, there but it cannot hold off the late Michael Jackson, whose Hollywood Tonight single provides his first posthumous number one on the list. A 2007 recording that appears on the current Michael album, Hollywood Tonight jumps 9-1, and is in mixes by DJ Chuckie and Throwback.
United Kingdom - COMMERCIAL POP TOP 30
01. (09) Hollywood Tonight - Michael Jackson
That's right, HT is the most played 'commercial pop' song in UK clubs. Let's hope that success converts to sales...
HT is only #152 in the UK singles chart this week. If this is the peak then it must be the least successfull MJ single by far!
Hollywood Tonight - Dance/Club Play Songs - Debut #36
Michael - R&B/Hip-Hop Albums - #38
Hollywood Tonight - R&B/Hip-Hop Albums - #60
Michael Jackson's This Is It - R&B/Hip-Hop Albums - Re-Entry - #74

UK fans - Please buy Hollywood Tonight CD Single, it's out on Tuesday. Lets get Hollywood Tonight in the top #10. Most of the general public/teenagers of today listen to all of the top #10 and then buy the songs that they like.
This is not like when Hold My Hand was released because that was a ballad that didn't gain much interest but Hollywood Tonight is a dance track that non-fans will love!
So lets do it for Michael, if Hollywood Tonight debuts in the top #10 I'm sure that it will hit #1 the next week or the week after.
guys when does hollywood tonight gets releases on itunes in the US and canada?
ht is currently #2 on amazon.co.uk bestselling singles.
