Lions Gate is starting to pump the publicity on the Michael Jackson biopic. Hyperbolic predictions are bubbling from behind the Gate.
Meantime, Michael is pulling his own weight. He’s sold over 227,000 copies of his “Thriller” album since January 1st including streaming. In solid sales, “Thriller” has done 55,316.
Michael’s total sales for 2024 so far are up over 566,000. Hard sales are almost at 100,000. Pretty impressive.
Those numbers are second pretty much to The Beatles, with 764,000 in total sales, and 124,000 in LPs, CDs, and downloads.
Nothing has hurt Jackson’s sales over time. They just keep booming. And when the Antoine Fuqua directed “Michael” movie is released next April, watch for new editions, a soundtrack, and more soaring sales, and lots of hyperbole!
