Even With Lowest Sales in Weeks, Michael Jackson’s Number Ones Outsells Competition
Sugarland‘s Billboard 200 Chart Topper:
Sugarland takes No. 1 with Live on the Inside, a punnily-titled live CD/DVD that was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. The number of shoppers who picked it up? Just 76,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Michael Jackson Outsells Competition Yet Again:
Michael Jackson’s Number Ones, the greatest-hits set that keeps outperforming the Billboard 200’s No. 1, moved only 98,000 units, the least it’s managed in any week since Jackson’s shocking death made it an overnight best-seller.
That brings Number Ones to six non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Top Comprehensive Albums chart (which counts catalog albums alongside new ones), the longest any Jackson release has stayed there since Bad 22 years ago.
