Does his estate (i.e his children) even have rights of ownership to his music? He was ridddled with debt, I know he had to sell his rights to the Beatles music anway....

Of the 22 charts from different counties on iTunes, every single one has at least one Michael Jackson song in the top ten EXCEPT one country which for me is telling - Ireland

Really? All it tells me is we're behind when it comes to e-commerce.

Im just hoping we have some taste. Seriously was he really that good, his thriller stuff sounds badly dated,his Jackson 5 stuff seems like the same as motown was doing years before he arrived or do I just not get it.

As for the huge shock around his death, I for one was mildly suprised and interested but surely with his history of health trouble....

I agree completely with you about the sound, but it was his delivery, his interpretation, which caused people to be so hypnotised by him.

You gotta hand it to him....it was a good career move, dying.

The record company must have been fuming that it was so sudden. A few days before Freddie Mercury died the large record stores got instructions from EMI to clear spaces on their shelves for Queens back catalogue.

You think it's bad now? Wait till the funeral. Al Sharpton wants to bring his body to the Apollo Theatre in New York so that people can pay their respects to his corpse!

I don't understand this phenomenon. Sometimes I just don't understand people at all.

.

Its called the Kurt Cobain formula. (Variants include the Jeff Buckley logic. Deviations extend to Randy Rhodes and John Bonham)

Dead artists are always amazing, and they always inspired a generation of musicians.

Was thinking that alright, if digital downloads didn't count towards the chart he'd be nowhere til at least next week.

He is dead, people miss him, people will buy his album. I guarantee that he will make more money dead than alive

He won't make a cent/dime etc because of uhm his dying.

Anyone who actually admits to buying the muck music he 'made' when he was alive deserves more ridicule than the tards who bought so in his death.

Anyone who doesn't share your taste in music is a fool.

Yes because my taste in music is based on my dislike of mj in somehow ? Or the 6 billion people who never bought his music are fools for not liking it ?

What is your smarmy comment based on ?

There is not 1 person in the world who would share the same musical interests as me seeing as it's the most diverse media known to man/woman.I said his music was shiz regardless of his living/death.Do you see ?

It was shiz when he was alive , it aint going to get better because of some fookin wankfest of what 'he' is proclaimed to have done for music.

By Guy Adams and David Usborne

CROWDS gathered at the Michael Jackson star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame as news of his death emerged. Some laid flowers, others lit candles, and a handful even broke into song-and-dance routines in tribute to their fallen idol.
There was but one problem: they had picked the wrong star.
The Michael Jackson whose career was celebrated by the brass and marble monument where the mini-shrine sprang up was in fact the King of Pop's namesake: a DJ for local radio station KABC who retired last year.
Jackson's real Walk of Fame star was covered over by scaffolding erected by the organisers of Thursday night's premiere of Sacha Baron Cohen's new film, 'Bruno'. The filmmakers said yesterday that a scene joking about the late pop singer had been swiftly cut from the comic film

Hahaha. O was hoping they saved themselves the embarresment of en-shrining the wrong star
