Sales Figures: Michael Jackson Keeps His Crown & Keri Hilson Gets Knocked Down
The Holdiay sales rush is finally over and with so many crazed shoppers abound almost every artist emerged as a winner. However, no other Urban act won a spot higher on the consumers’ Christmas list than Michael Jackson.
The King of Pop’s ‘Michael’ album remains the only Urban release in the Billboard 200’s top 5, slipping from #3 to #5 with sales of 150k units. This figure represents only a 34% decrease in sales, allowing Jackson to accomplish a narrow lead ahead of Jamie Foxx’s ‘Best Night of My Life’ which debuts at #6 on the lineup with 144k copies sold.
Keyshia Cole enters the top 10 this week at #9 with ‘Calling All Hearts’ selling 128k units. Still, the R&B singer’s call didn’t sway enough hearts to help her to outperform Nicki Minaj and Eminem whose albums sold another 133k (down 36% to #8) and 137k (up 100% to #7) copies, respectively.
Keri Hilson, on the other hand, missed the top 10 completely. While her ‘No Boys Allowed’ sold 102k copies, managing to outsell previously released ‘In A Perfect World’ by over 8k units, it failed to keep up with Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ which grabbed the #10 position. The Bajan’s LP experienced a 33% increase in sales, selling another 111k copies.

With great fame often comes great controversy -- and if you're Michael Jackson, the drama even follows you to the grave. The King of Pop released his first posthumous album of new material, "Michael," in December, but before fans could even get excited to hear the songs, the legitimacy of Jackson's vocals on some of the tracks were questioned by his own family. (His estate has repeatedly stated that they conducted exhaustive research to conclude that the vocals were authentic.) The controversy still lingers even after "Michael's" release -- it's vying for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week -- but no matter how you felt about the music, you had to listen.
