I dare to say Taylor Swift could surpass Frozen but I don't understand what's the fuss over her. I'm proud of Xscape though, Michael's lyrics are better than any successful act nowadays.

Not too bad considering it was released in May rather than the holiday season. Had they done another round of promo it would have cleared 2 mil.
 
The only thing it pisses me off is that a record that had 3 fake songs sold more than Xscape which is totally Michael (his demos.) But I'm aware it's more and more difficult sellingn recors legally every year.

Good news and interesting considering some of the other artists.

Question please: does anyone know what caused the interest in Number Ones? Was it sold at a reduced price for the holiday?

Where is your proof that it's fake? All I hear is stale conspiracy theories, not unlike certain allegations...
Click to expand...

Koopa, some fans believe it is not him based on their own criteria (you would have to check out the thread on that controversy which is extensive). And some fans believe it is him. There is no real proof really. The estate and Sony conducted their own forensic investigation and concluded that it was indeed him, but some fans don't believe in that either. I don't know if we will ever know. For me, it is him, but not his best vocals.
