Can someone start an appreciation thread for those four Matalan girls on the sponsor commercial?
Bet they are LOVING the exposure. What song is that that they keep playing: "Break out... doo doo"? -
WHAT AN AMAZING CROWD
And
:lmao: at the Matalan sponsor. Definitely the worst thing Madonna has ever associated her self with in her long career. But all in all, this is a very good broadcast so far. The angles are decent and glad they have held back on the special visual effects. SO FAR.

God, I love this bitch. Fantastic editing so far.

I clicked on 'jonny1' and I got the live performance of 'ROL' from the CT.
The show hasn't started yet. Starts in 9 minutes. This Jonny guy is showing the CT until he cuts to SKY at 9.

Good on her

Jackson is the UK’s sixth biggest-selling singles artist, with sales to date of nearly 12m, a total beaten only by Cliff Richard, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Madonna and Elton John. His all-time biggest-seller is Earth Song, which has sold 1,092,596 copies here, and re-enters the chart at number 38 this week on sales of 7,588 downloads. Three other Jackson tracks have sold more than 500,000 copies: One Day In Your Life (801,823), Billie Jean (752,766) and You Are Not Alone (587,722), with Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough (494,675) likely to join them later this week.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Best_selli...sts_of_all_time
Cliff Richard (20,969,006)
The Beatles (20,799,632)
Elvis Presley (19,293,118)
Madonna (14,562,856)
Elton John (13,475,063)
Michael Jackson (11,310,958)
Queen (10,334,713)
ABBA (10,004,039)
Paul McCartney (9,781,603)
David Bowie (9,392,410)
These sales are only to February 2004 so they need to be updated. Will he be able to overtake Elton John (who wouldn't even be in the Top 10 if it weren't for Candle In The Wind)?

This is not showing her in a good light AT ALL. Wimbledon is on the other side so luckily no one will be watching this.

Supposedly, his sales are around 750million but I get the feeling everyone has just rushed to wikipedia to get the figures and they may have been exaggerated by fans. Radio 1 said Thriller sold over 100million sales! However, it had only sold 40 million ten years ago. I don't think 60 million people have gone out and bought it in the last ten years!
He's not had that many albums out and his single sales are below Madonna's in the UK.
Anyone got anymore accurate figures for his sales?
And yes, it's easier for male artists to be taken more seriously than female. Madonna's back catalogue is superior in terms of breadth and variety. Michael's legacy was the biggest selling album of all time and some choreography but overall he stayed in the same mould from a creative perspective.
Radio 1 didn't say that. They usually check their facts unlike the delusional Kay Burley. Radio 1 said Jackson's camp were spouting a figure of 104 million but Guinness estimates sales at 65 million MAX.
Of course MJ's output has been a lot less, even though his career stretches a longer time span. 750 million is way off the mark. By SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION.
-
I agree about no one watching it because of the time slot. But yes it will be scathing. That Jacqui guy always interviews complete whack jobs. I remember his documentary about Michael Jackson last year where some bird said she knew a cleaner at a Las Vegas hotel. When she was changing the bed, she said MJ and the young boys who were staying with him had written messages in their own faeces all over the sheets. This is journalism of the lowest form, expect a number of outrageous claims.
-
Shit. I didn't realise she's SEVENTY. I take my bag lady comments back. Girl looks GOOD.
-
Fuck GG. She lost any credibility when she went on Celebrity Big Brother. She's not even that respected in Feminist circles anyway. Crazy whore indeed.
She looks like a bag lady.

Do you think Winehouse will be asked to reprise her drunken version of Beat It?

MJ's Number Ones is likely to top tomorrow's chart. It debuted at #1 back in November 2003, I think it's around 5x Platinum, it's a real hit album in the UK. Interestingly, "Man In The Mirror" is not on this CD (just the US edition) as it was replaced by "Human Nature".
That IS interesting, cheers. I didn't know that.
I mistakenly thought MITM being the "chosen" song (a likely #1 this Sunday; at least the highest-rated single of his on this week's countdown) was down to Chris Moyles spinning it at the peak of his breakfast show the morning after the death. But with it being the biggest-selling post-death MJ single as of now in both the US and Australia, I'm trying to fathom a reason as to why. I did think one of his slower-paced tracks would be the posthumous hit but MITM didn't even scrape the Top 20 on original release in Britain. Anyone have any theories for its success this week? Perhaps it was played a lot on the news tributes?
-
The other sentance that made me a bit mushy 2day is 'In the select company of Elvis Presley, The Beatles & Madonna.' Warners if ur reading this, the shit u own is precious so better take care of that Greatest Hits.
:clap: :clap: :clap: Also, you just KNOW that every SINGLE review of the upcoming greatest hits will include an Michael Jackson reference.
-
Another link/reference: TIC is listed under the Michael Jackson section on Amazon UK, the only non-MJ release to be there. I think it has completely sold out though.
-
Is Man In The Mirror "the chosen one" merely because of the Chris Moyles effect? Didn't think it was one of his more popular singles, only peaked at number 21 on first release.
For the chart boffs, there are now 9 MJ tracks in the Top 40 on UK iTunes. MITM up to #7, could very likely be the 1100th UK number one.
NEVER seen anything like this to happen to the single charts in this country. Chart purists are arguing it makes a mockery of the current system, when so many old MJ tracks will obliterate the official Top 10 in the next few weeks. But this is a one-off so see no need to change the rules AGAIN. -
They had a MJfan on one of the breakfast shows this morning. What he said struck me. He said imagine waiting TWELVE years to see your favourite singer in concert, buying tickets and looking forward to it starting in two weeks and then finding out they had DIED.
