Michael Jackson Shifts 1.1 Million Albums In A Week

Michael Jackson has continued to dominate the US album charts, selling more than one million albums in the last seven days.

The singer, who died on June 25, now holds the top-12 places on the Billboard pop-catalogue chart.

Jackson's 'Number Ones' collection sits at the top, while 'The Essential Michael Jackson' and 'Thriller' are at number two and three respectively.

Sales of Jackson's music jumped 37% last week, bringing the total number of albums sold since the singer's death to more than 2.3million.

As previously reported, Jackson has sold more than 1.5million albums and singles in the UK in the last three weeks.

Only one non-Jackson featuring album – Florence & The Machine's 'Lungs' – is currently inside the top-5.
