I love this. Actual, physical sales. Gotta be happy about that. In the mix with Lana and Taylor and all the rest. Love it. :)
 
Thriller basically is a compilation lol. And Bad too. It's insane how many hits both contain.
Yes I am still disappointed they didn’t release the remaining 2 songs. I reckon TLIML could have reached top 10 in 1985 if it had a video. Baby be mine probably would have peaked top 20.
I’m also still sad that tell me i’m not dreaming wasn’t released. It would probably have been nr 1 in 1985
 
According to Guinness World Records, Michael Jackson's Thriller has sold 3.8m copies in Brazil. According to the Brazilian charts, Michael Jackson sold more than 2.8M records in Brazil just from 2003 to 2017. Although Michael Jackson sold several million more copies & generated millions of dollars for Sony, they ONLY certified 4 titles by MJ, meaning only 280k units in Brazil were certified. Sony Music was contacted directly, Pro Musica replied that @sonymusicbrasil HAS NEVER MADE ANY REQUEST to certify Michael Jackson's catalogs. I was in touch with Sony Music Brasil Digital Innovation Strategy Manager Luciana Almeida in March of this year. She promised me that she would discuss it with her team, but even after 6 months not even a single Michael Jackson Album/song/DVD was certified in Brazil.

God knows how many they've uncertified everywhere else
 

"Step aside everyone "The Essential Michael Jackson makes the biggest splash on the 200 Worldwide iTunes Albums charts getting +193 yes a+193 the biggest climb of any album by an artist on this chart for September 20, 2023 simply the greatest"
