Although Michael Jackson has died, his music clearly lives on.
Although the King of Pop has passed away, apparently his music still lives on. According to ABC News, “Whether it’s CDs, DVDs or vinyl, anything with Michael Jackson’s name on it has been flying off shelves for more than a week.”
Album sales for the late Michael Jackson have increased by a whopping 4,000 percent in the last two weeks. “Pretty much the minute everyone found out [he died], everyone was rushing here,” said store employee Angela Ziles. “And within the next couple hours, we were pretty much sold out.” According to ABC News, Michael Jackson’s albums are on Amazon’s top 10 music sellers list. Jackson is now also the first performer to sell over a million Internet tracks in nearly a week.
Sony, which is the King of Pop’s record label, is trying to meet demand. Workers even sacrificed their July 4th holiday so that more CDs could be shipped. Retailers believe that this trend will continue for months as details about Jackson’s death are revealed.

The Game, Chris Brown, Diddy, Boyz II Men, and Polow Da Don teamed up to record a tribute to Michael Jackson, “Better On The Other Side.” The Game provides the bulk of the lyrics, sharing personal experiences as a kid who grew listening to Michael’s music. Chris Brown and Wayna Morris from Boyz II Men also offer lead vocals.
They recorded this song immediately and released it Friday, June 26, the day following Michael’s passing to cardiac arrest. It’s a good track. You can feel the sincerity in each of the artists’ vocals.
