No big surprise here.The death of Michael Jackson seems to be doing wonders for his album sales.
Since his death last week, Jackson has dominated the charts.
Billboard says Jackson occupies nine of the top 10 album catalog sales, meaning sales of records from back catalogs.
iTunes has also gone Jacko crazy. Nine of the top 10 most-downloaded music videos as of Thursday afternoon belonged to Jackson, and the Essential Michael Jackson collection remains poised atop the albums list.
We've seen this phenomenon before when it comes to recently-passed artists. See Otis Redding, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Nirvana and Tupac Shakur if you need proof.
Me? The Salmon already has his Jackson albums, although I could go for a 90-minute collection of MJ's greatest dance moves. I hope the Jackson fam's listening.
