Following global trends, Michael Jackson’s albums and singles have dominated this week’s ARIA charts. The late King of Pop has an amazing 15 albums in the top 100, and another 34 singles in the charts this week.
MJ is holding down the top three spots on the album charts with The Essential Michael Jackson, #1s, and Thriller. Thriller’s title track is also leading the singles charge, sitting pretty at number three ahead of “Black or White,” “Billie Jean,” and “Man in the Mirror.”
The Michael Jackson sold 62, 015 albums last week, which equates to 29.6% of all albums sold. Not a bad effort at all I’d say!
