Michael Jackson Ruling the Charts - Record Breaker!

[Plank]

im confused as to what this is. is it like the weeks current top 40 pop songs?

It's the singles charts which are in order of the top sales for that week. Cascada got something like 61,000 and MJ got 56,000 for the top 2.

No no, people are re-buying all his songs and such for the pure fact to get him in the charts.

i agree with this

do people only start listening to his songs (again) just because he just died? :/

yes, anyone who doesnt believe this is in denial.

He throughly deserves it to be honest

id reallllllllly like a good explanation for this one, cause i dont see how dying makes you deserving of a bunch of songs on the billboard charts (which also don't have much relevance).

but yeah its true, people are just jumping on the bandwagon. if michael jackson was that important to these people, they would have had his albums already. its not people buying second copies of his albums. i dont care how big of a fan you are of anyone, no one buys a second copy of an album, even if it is to "get him back on the charts."

I'm starting to understand MJ more now since his death, and honestly he wasn't that bad a person i think now

touching kids was just an anomaly.

He never actually got charged with it

OJ Simpson was never charged either.
