New Michael Jackson single to hit airwaves October 12
LONDON (Reuters) - A new Michael Jackson single called "This Is It" will hit the airwaves on October 12, two weeks before it is available as part of a two-disc album released by the late pop star's record label.
Sony Music's Columbia/Epic Label Group said it would release the "This Is It" album internationally on October 26 and in North America on October 27, to coincide with the simultaneous global release of the Jackson movie of the same name on October 28.
A spokeswoman in London said that contrary to some reports, the posthumous single would not go on sale separately but would be available for radio stations to play from October 12.
"This song only defines, once again, what the world already knows -- that Michael is one of God's greatest gifts," said John McClain, co-producer of the album and an executor of Jackson's estate. Jackson died of an overdose of prescription drugs on June 25, at around the time he was rehearsing for a 50-date, sell-out series of comeback concerts in London.
The "This Is It" movie, subject of a $60 million (37.4 million pound) deal between Jackson's estate and concert promoter AEG Live and Sony Pictures, is based on footage from the final concert rehearsals.
Sales of Jackson's records spiked after his death, and the release of the movie and album will add to the value of the "Thriller" singer's estate, estimated at around $400 million.
Sony Music said the first disc of the two-disc album will feature some of Jackson's greatest hits plus two versions of the new single "This Is It." The song includes backing vocals by Jackson's brothers.
The second disc will include unreleased versions of some of the singer's classic tracks and a spoken word poem entitled "Planet Earth" performed by Jackson and never heard before.
Sony Pictures and Sony Music are units of Sony Corp.

Uganda: Housemates Pay Tribute to Michael Jackson Tonight
Kampala — Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop, lives again tonight in the Big Brother Revolution house - Kudos to the M-Net team for conceptualising this idea.
In the first weekly task with both male and female housemates together, the 21 contestants Tuesday were assigned to prepare a tribute to the pop music icon, who passed away on June 25, 2009 aged 51.
The main item, to be presented tonight between 8:00pm and 10:00pm, will be a live reenactment of a music video to MJ's topmost hit, Thriller, also the world's best-selling album of all time.
The housemates have been rehearsing tirelessly to grasp every move in the video, as well as the lyrics.
In fact, they wagered 100 per cent for the task, a mark they are supposed to hit lest Biggie rations their household supplies next week. To aid their task, Biggie gave them a DVD copy of the video, its lyrics, costumes and makeup, plus other props they need to pull off a thrilling Thriller.
Thriller explores genres like funk, disco, soul, R&B and pop, picking on themes bordering on paranoia and the supernatural.
Kevin will play MJ while Tanzania's Elizabeth plays MJ's girlfriend.
Right now the housemates have decorated a gothic look in the garden and house, with props in form of coffins, rag-like clothing, skeletons, skulls and all.
Tune in and get thrilled. Don't forget to keep Philbert in the house. Type Vote Philbert and send to 6626 across all networks.
