The saying, “You are almost worth more in death, than you are in life” unfortunately holds true for the King of Pop himself.
According to Billboard.com, Michael Jackson is once again the King of the Pop charts based on sales numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, the entire top nine positions on Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog Albums chart will house Jackson-related titles.
Jackson himself has a record eight out of the top 10, while a Jackson 5 compilation also finds its way into the upper tier.
The King of Pop’s “Number Ones” will fittingly lead the pack at No. 1 with 108,000 (an increase of 2,340%) while “The Essential Michael Jackson” and “Thriller” are in the Nos. 2 and 3 slots with 102,000 and 101,000, respectively. Last week “Number Ones” was the only Jackson title on the chart, at No. 20 with 4,000 copies; both “Essential” and “Thriller” re-enter the tally this week.
Additionally, his classic 1979 studio set “Off the Wall” re-enters at No. 4 with 33,000 while his 1987 album “Bad” returns at No. 6 with 17,000. At No. 5, the Jackson 5′s “The Ultimate Collection” debuts with 18,000. Jackson’s fourth studio album for Epic Records, 1991′s “Dangerous,” re-enters at No. 7 with 14,000 while his 2001 compilation “Greatest Hits: HIStory — Volume 1″ also comes back to the list at No. 8 with 12,000. Finally, Jackson’s 2004 box set “The Ultimate Collection” charts its first week on the Pop Catalog chart, arriving at No. 9 with 11,000.
Congratulations to Michael Jackson, for being back on top right where he belongs. We still miss you tons MJ!

Sure there are classic MJ albums we all love to death, I really loved Invincible! the video with Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando! WAT! the dance sequence at the end is so damn hot.
Dear Michael, It was a blessing to call you my friend… From hanging out with you and your brothers in the park to chilling with you and Sammy Davis Jr. at Victory, man it’s all a blur now. I’ll see you again some day. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!
