Michael Jackson top of best seller in Brazil since 2003

A report on music charts in Brazil was released today and with no big surprise, Michael Jackson is on the top of the list of Best Seller International Artists with 2,834,010 units since 2003 only in Brazil.

No surprise there as Brazil counts many Michael Jackson Fans, the country loves Michael Jackson and even when a wannabe artist criticises Michael, the fans and the press refute and argue with facts! Brazil also have Michael Jackson Statue, murals and a deep love for the King of Pop, especially since his visit for the filming of “They Don’t Care About Us”, directed by Spike Lee.

But the big surprise is that the top selling album for Michael in Brazil since 2003, is actually an unofficial album called “The Best Of Michael Jackson Live“.

Pointing out that piracy is a huge problem in Brazil until streaming arrived but clearly, this is a huge failure for Sony Brazil as this unofficial album sold 620,000 units since 2003 when Thriller for example, and which is the biggest selling album for Michael, sold 349,000 units, while Number Ones stands at 316,710 units and Off The WallBad and Dangerous stand around 100,000 tracked units each, same as King Of Pop at 113,000.

I guess Sony Brazil and the Estate wish they thought of putting out an official live Album… a bit too late for Brazil but could work for the rest of the world! One can dream!

  1. I agree – an official ‘live’ album, or double album set (‘Dangerous’ and ‘HIStory’ tours) would be wonderful. But, since Michael is not here to approve the content, you would still have an uproar from some fans who prefer there be NO posthumous releases. To those people I would say, listen to what Taj Jackson has to say in his latest podcast about his love of “Love Never Felt So Good” (MJ’s solo version, of course) from the Xscape album.
