The King of Pop is still breaking records even after his death. Billboard.com reports that preliminary sales show the entire top nine positions on Billboard's pop music charts belong to Michael Jackson...but you won't see his name listed.The official numbers will be released Wednesday, but Billboard.com reports the King of Pop's "Number Ones" album will lead the pack followed by the "Essential Michael Jackson and "Thriller" albums.
The website says collectively, Jackson's solo albums sold 415,000 between June 25th and June 28th. 58% of those were digital downloads.
Despite Jackson's record breaking sales, you will not find his name or albums on the Billboard charts this week.
Catalog albums are ineligible to appear on the Billboard 200 albums list.
Instead, you will find the pop group: The Black Eyed Peas sitting at number one, even though their records sales for the week were only 88,000.
Web Wednesday:
Should Michael Jackson be listed on the Billboard Top 200 charts?
Is it fair that his records sales will not be included?
We want to hear from you.
