Michael brought me to this site. he is the focus. he is the star. right now, a press release said that This Is It has started a trend. nothing new for MJ to start trends. and that trend is for the usa to acknowledge sales around the world, more vigorously. the usa always acknowledged world sales, but, a lot of times, they acted like they didn't respect them, as much. you would think that what happened in the usa was all that happened. now..they're realizing that what happens in the world is really JUST as important as what happens in the usa, all of it, combined. and now, it becomes one, and homogenized. no more separating the two. no more feeling of national origin bias. and there use to be one. i'm just stating things as they were. and i didn't like it, one bit. now, there's just acknowledging world sales, as if the usa is just another part of the world. no more saying first the usa, then the world..or..first the world, then the usa. or, for that matter, just two different sales charts. now, there's one. and that is good.
