:clapping:

Not only this"
Michael Jackson has made pop chart history in America from beyond the grave by becoming the only solo artist to score top 10 hits in five successive decades.

but you can count with one hand fingers all the artists (I know only MJ) that has top 10 album in every decade

Great, greater, the greatest :wild:
 
Number 2 in the US and number 1 worldwide is a huge success. That probably won't be the norm from here on out. All that really matters is how you feel about the album. Some of my all time favourite albums never even sniffed the top 10.
 
YAY ... #2 In USA # 1 IN UK and Worldwide. That is AWESOME. Im so happy The Xscape album is doing so Great and Michael is being celebrated all over the World. I have nothing to complain about with that. I don't know about anyone else but I have been waiting so long for this. Michael deserves all this love and recognition. And many have never experienced Michaelmania before so I hope you can savor it and enjoy while it lasts. Also there is More to come .. more promotion more singles etc etc. What do I have to do to get this partay started

LETS CELEBRATE :) Xscape

Qbee, will the promotion of this album go further? More singles and short films?
 
Hi all, as you can see by my new sig, I had a really good time last night at the Immortal. What an amazing melting pot of talents delivering an awesome story of Michael's life.

I'm happy to report that during the break they played Xscape the whole time and some of the dancers were entertaining the crowd by showing them Michael's Beat It moves while dancing on LNFSG and the audience participation was great. Then the second act started with Beat It of course. Nice segway.

My friend who'd seen 5 or 6 Le Cirque presentations said The Immortal was by far the best one.

IMO, I think STTR will play in dance clubs all over the world this whole summer long and LNFSG at all the weddings, as it should. Makes me wanna go out and dance

This is why we shouldn't listen to the news. Listen to what Michael told you, "Don't believe everything you hear".
 
“Love Never Felt So Good” which rocketed into the Top 5 position in the U.S. and lit up the iTunes charts globally peaking at 17#1 and 67 Top 5 positions


“Love Never Felt So Good” lit up the iTunes charts around the world, peaking at #5 in the U.S., #1 in 18 countries and #5 in 89 countries netting Michael his highest Billboard chart bow since 1995 and fourth-highest debut ever at #20 — marking his 49th hit single.

how was LNFSG doing？ Two sets of different records in one article ( 17#1 and 67 Top 5 positions vs. #1 in 18 countries and #5 in 89 countries ).

A little confused

XSCAPE LIGHTS UP THE CHARTS GLOBALLY - #1 IN 52 COUNTRIES, TOP 5 IN 87

#1 STREAMING ALBUM IN THE WORLD

"The tracks remind us of the musical genius that was Michael Jackson," The Guardian UK

"Timbaland's transformations are masterly," NY TIMES

"...you want to push your jacket sleeves up and get down," ("Love Never Felt So Good") SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"The magic continues," The Washington Post

Michael Jackson’s new album XSCAPE took over the top spots on the global charts this week, hitting #1 in 52 countries and Top 5 in 87 other. It is #1 on Amazon and #1 on Spotify, taking the throne from Frozen, which has had the top spot on Spotify since January. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard album chart and #1 on Hits.

Curated and produced by Epic Records Chairman and CEO LA Reid, XSCAPE got off to a thrilling start with the Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake first single, “Love Never Felt So Good” which rocketed into the Top 5 position in the U.S. and lit up the iTunes charts globally peaking at 17#1 and 67 Top 5 positions, and hitting the #1 spot on Spotify U.S. and the world this week. The video for Michael Jackson/Justin Timberlake duet of the song is #1 on iTunes.

To date, Jackson has sold one billion records worldwide, so it’s no surprise that XSCAPE has gone #1 in all four corners of the world, including Australia, the UK, France, Malaysia, and South Africa. “Love Never Felt So Good” lit up the iTunes charts around the world, peaking at #5 in the U.S., #1 in 18 countries and #5 in 89 countries netting Michael his highest Billboard chart bow since 1995 and fourth-highest debut ever at #20 — marking his 49th hit single.

The worldwide launch of the album included the “Slave to the Rhythm” dance performance at the Billboard Music Awards which was created for fans by the Estate of Michael Jackson as a tribute to the King of Pop and to capture the essence, the excitement and the magic that is Michael Jackson. Good Morning America called it “Michael Magic”. It took over a year and a team of 104 cast and crew, to create an entire stage on which to produce the performance that showcased Michael’s moves, took up the entire stage and was bigger and better than anything that has gone before. The audience swelled to 11.5 million during the half hour of the highly anticipated performance, proving again that Michael Jackson remains the biggest entertainer of all time.

Released on May 13 by Epic Records in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson, XSCAPE features a long awaited collection of 8 new songs originally recorded between 1983 and 1999, and showcase why Michael Jackson remains an indelible influence on contemporary artists today. The songs were curated by Reid, and then ‘contemporized’ by lead producer Timbaland and some of the hottest production talents in the world including JRoc, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Giorgio Truinfort and John McClain, co-executor of the Estate of Michael Jackson.

Epic’s rollout of XSCAPE has been massive. Songs from the album were premiered on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and featured on Dancing With the Stars, the Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, and every major entertainment news show around the world. SiriusXM launched a Michael Jackson channel this week, and the album’s first single was premiered on the iHeart Radio Music Awards. In additiona, Epic partnered with Jeep for a global commercial spot featuring the single “Love Never Felt So Good.” Epic / Sony Music’s XSCAPE album campaign is a ‘One Sony’ global collaboration, with exclusive offers from Sony Group companies leveraging their respective strengths in delivering unique entertainment experiences to a wider audience as well as attracting a whole new generation discovering the artistry of Michael Jackson for the first time.

More news about Michael Jackson’s upcoming album will be revealed in the coming weeks. Keep visiting www.michaeljackson.com for new details.
 
The Importance of Michael Jackson’s Xscape
Posted on May 22, 2014
http://mjjjusticeproject.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/the-importance-of-michael-jacksons-xscape/

“Music has been my outlet, my gift to all the lovers in this world. Through it – my music, I know I will live forever.” ~ Michael Jackson

This statement by Michael Jackson should resonate through the spirit of each individual within his immense world-wide fanbase. This “gift to all the lovers in this world” the one reason why MJEstate keeps Michael Jackson relevant with the new generation of music listeners.

With the overwhelming positive media feedback from Xscape and it’s #1 status World-wide the “Number Ones” album has moved signifcantly up the charts as well as “The Essential Michael Jackson” album.

We feel there is no better way for first time or new generation of listeners to gain a introduction to Michael than buying these two albums. This ultimately proves the strategy of distributing his “best you’ve never heard” music to the world was a indeed an intelligent marketing for his music, legacy and ultimately his justice.

When the door opens for Michael’s music and message to be heard and spread through younger generations then his mission and principles that he applied to his life are also gleaned and is a great segue to discussion regarding the justice he so richly deserves.

The old guard of the tabloid media is losing ground in the Social Media environment where we interact on a global scale. No longer are they in control of information that they can manipulate and force feed to a gullible pubic. The new generation of fans are computer savvy and doesn’t rely on Fox News, Dimond, Orth or any other tabloid journalist for it’s opinionated take and skewing of information when research is only a click away.

University studies have begun and it’s only a matter of time before all of the mischaracterizations of this noble man will be known. Please be sure to read Professor Mark Anthony Neals views on Xscape on how Michael Jackson’s essence resonates within it.http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2014/05/ghost_in_the_vault_michael_jackson_s_xscape.html

Michael wanted his music, mission and message of love, compassion, empathy and universal brotherhood spread and who better to do this than the new generation of people who will glean his principles that guided his life, without having been influenced by the bias unsubstantiated salacious tales. They can break free from the past mischaracterizations of Michael Jackson and spread his truth as it is being told through released FBI files, court transcripts and other legal documents, CPS files etc, and these are being released for public perusal.

These documents are archved by MJAdvocates writing blogs and holding forums and chatrooms of discussions on how to combat or not, the few trolls that remain, as they a dying breed -and we mean that literally & figuratively. We also are getting older and new blood of MJAdvocacy and activists for MJTruth must be brought into the fold -

There was a need for Michael’s Xscape -

“When you want to be close to me listen to the music”-

We are listening Michael… we are listening.
 
glad mj is #1 one more time.
i hate that it wasn't THAT successful in Germany, also on tv they hype stuff like Coldplay or katy perry. :/
 
Slave to the rhythm already got 7 Mio views within 3 days!!

Why didnt they release it as a single?
Would be in the top50 of the bbcharts next week!
 
We can get Michael to number one again. I would say the estate should wait another five years for the next album.

But not wait until the 4th year to start putting it together. They should start now and take their time with it. Michael never rushed to complete songs. They were a constant and ever-evolving work in progress. That's what made his music so beautiful and so great- it was a combination of his talent and the time he spent working on each piece.


And oh, here's there boom box!

Amen! And I petition for the return of Brad Buxer, Michael Prince and Matt Forger.
 
5 years? Elvis fans don't have to wait but a few months between releases. If you mean major mainstream release aimed at the general public, sure I can see that. But not 5 years for the next project period.
 
Before we go to the next project, wasn't there supposed to be another single out Xscape?
La Reid said something that they chose the first single and fans second?
Also I read it somewhere there is going to be Jackie J LNFSG remix, or was it another song?
 
5 years is way too long.
They have according to
L.A. another 16 completed songs or something.
These could easily fit into two more albums.

But, seriously, next time:

ATLEAST 10 SONGS

i guess 16 songs, without the will.i.am and redOne tracks (which are vocally complete?).
so it's even a bit more.
