MJ Is Number One On The Charts

Talk about a thriller.

Michael Jackson sold between 300,000 and 400,000 albums in the three fleeting days following his death, along with roughly 1.8 million individual digital tracks in that same span, according to Billboard Magazine.

By comparison, Jackson's albums sold just 10,000 copies in the week before his death, while digital sales capped at 40,000.

The new figures - based on weekly tracking that cut off Sunday - will be strong enough to place three of the star's albums ("Number Ones," "The Essential Michael Jackson" and "Thriller") in the top three spots on the latest Billboard Top Pop Catalogue chart, published Wednesday.
