Uh oh. JLS are you kidding me.. that song is poop! Where's Michael everywhere else in the singles?
 
With thanks to MJDangerous on UKMIX:

UK Sales
Week 1
Singles: 204,703
Albums: 109,082
DVDs: 7,896

Those are figures of charted stuff. It does not include albums charted on Budget album chart. Now, figures posted by Music Week for MJ stuff on his own:

Singles: 196,000
Albums: 124,000

All MJ albums charted were credited to him (both J5 compilations charted were "MJ & J5"). Since almost all MJ albums were charted, the gap between both figures (109k to 124k) should be due to sales on Budget album chart. We still have to add stuff of the Jackson 5/Jacksons.
Their charted singles cumulated 25,000 copies, as a whole I would estimate their sales that week at 44,000. For albums, they weren't stocked and missed to chart, I would go with 6,000 copies sold, MJ & J5 being already counted on MJ total. That means:

Singles: 240,000
Albums: 130,000
DVDs: 8,000

Week 2
Charted stuff:
Singles: 357,678
Albums: 234,347
DVDs: 38,570

Using the same proportions as on week 1, that means 390,000 singles sold adding uncharted tracks. Then there is the problem of albums, let say 245,000 once adding all non-charted albums, but the real issue is sales of albums charted on Budget album chart, Bad, Dangerous, Invincible and Blood On The Dancefloor. I will stick with proportion: Those sold 15k while albums charted on normal chart sold 109k, so with 234k on normal chart let assume 32k for albums on Budget chart. To resume:

Singles: 390,000
Albums: 277,000
DVDs: 39,000

Week 3
Charted:
Singles: 265,101
Albums: 315,744
DVDs: 75,337

Using always the same methods, I will go with 295,000 singles sold, for albums on budget chart 43k, with uncharted albums, total of 370,000.

Singles: 295,000
Albums: 370,000
DVDs: 76,000

So, in UK in 16 days, we have the following sales:

Singles: 925,000
Albums: 777,000
DVDs: 123,000

Michael Jacksons Makes History On Euro Charts

Michael Jackson claims eight of the top ten spots on the European Top 100 Albums chart.

Paul Sexton, London


In a history-making week on Billboard's European Top 100 Albums, Michael Jackson holds down a spectacular eight of the top ten titles. Meanwhile, "When Love Takes Over" (Positiva/EMI) by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland starts a second week atop European Hot 100 Singles.

Jackson's domination also represents a near-lockout of the pan-European top ten for Epic/Sony Music Entertainment, in which last year's "King of Pop" compilation again comes out on top. It leads the way in no fewer than eight markets, holding at No. 1 in Germany and Austria, moving 77-1 in the Belgian region of Flanders, 6-1 in neighboring Wallony, 13-1 in Poland, 3-1 in Holland and 2-1 in Switzerland and Spain. It's top five in five other territories.

In the United Kingdom, it's "The Essential Michael Jackson" that rules, with 113,000 new sales last week from a running total in its four years on release of 483,000. That compilation holds at No. 2 Europe-wide, also moving 4-1 in Finland, 3-2 in Switzerland and entering and No. 3 in Norway and Portugal.

Next up, at No. 3 overall, is the original edition of "Thriller," which leaps to the top in Italy (12-1) and Spain (3-1) and is in the top five in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. Its title track single also rises 4-2 in Italy. Jackson's "Number Ones" collection is up 6-4 on Top 100 Albums, sitting at No. 2 in both Ireland and Germany. "The Collection" is his only title in descent on the overall chart, down 3-6 despite holding at No. 1 in Denmark and racing 34-5 in Sweden and 19-9 in Germany.

With the regular volume of "Thriller" at No. 3, the 25th anniversary deluxe reissue also fares well, climbing 14-7 on the composite chart. It's up 12-2 in Hungary, 7-5 in Finland, 41-6 in Spain and 18-9 in the United Kingdom, but falls from the top spot in Switzerland and Poland. "Off The Wall," the studio predecessor to "Thriller," is up 34-8 on Top 100 Albums, fuelled by a 10-3 climb in the United Kingdom on sales of 39,000. Remarkably, that's the album's highest-ever position on the U.K. chart, where it previously peaked at No. 5 in its fourth week on the survey in October 1979.

The biggest leap of all Jackson's albums is taken by "HIStory - Past, Present & Future, Book 1," which zooms 92-9 after reappearing at No. 4 in Germany and 33-17 in the United Kingdom. Jackson also has two singles in the European top ten, holding at No. 7 with "Man In The Mirror" and dipping 9-10 with "Billie Jean."

The only non-Jackson titles in the top ten of the pan-European album chart are Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)" (Interscope/Universal), which holds at No. 5, and labelmate Lady Gaga's "The Fame," down 8-10.

I don't get why Thriller and Thriller 25 are charting separately?!?!? Is the Thriller special edition separate too?? That's weird!
