Will the controversy surrounding Michael Jackson affect his album sales?
>
What a week for Michael Jackson.
Recap this...
Tues. MJ's latest album, Number Ones, is released in stores
Wed. MJ's Neverland Ranch is searched in Santa Barbara, Calif. while he is in Las Vegas and CBS cancels an upcoming MJ entertainment special
Thurs. A warrant is issued for his MJ's arrest, he returns to SB from Vegas, surrenders, gets processed, posts $3M bail and returns to Vegas.
No comment on how bizarre this is.
Question this... Who is going to buy his album and how many of them are there?
Predict this... Please leave your guesstimate for 1st week's album sales in the comments and I will send a Number Ones CD to the person who comes closest. Soundscan sales figures will be available Wednesday of next week. Must post by Monday at 12 midnight ET.
A bit of helpful info: MJ's last album, was released on Nov. 13, 2001 and sold 370,000 units the first week. Ultimately it sold around 2M units (US only).
Note this... I am not promoting the purchase of this album and will not be buying a copy myself. I think it might be a little wacko to buy Jacko. The aforementioned CD is compliments of the record label.
