No matter what he did in his private life (I am in the 'he was a paedophile' camp btw) there is no denying his talent when it came to making music. His singing on Dirty Diana is some of the best vocal work I can recall hearing, each verse was like a slow, emotional build up until the release at the chorus, I swear every time I hear that song I get goosebumps. Its a shame he tarnished his legacy with his other affairs and some of his weaker releases later in his career, but at his peak he was simply out of this world.

Just recently heard the song he recorded for "E.T. The Extraterrestrial" when it was first coming out. The song is called "Someone in the Dark," and it is just a beautiful number about friendship and what it does for people.

Chart statistics for" MICHAEL" album
lol... thanks.. I thought I put the code in right what was I missing?
MJ is still number one on the R&B/Hip Hop Charts - Sales Figures: Michael Jackson Keeps His Crown & Keri Hilson Gets Knocked Down | ..::That Grape Juice // ThatGrapeJuice.net::.. || Thirsty? Wednesday, December 29th 2010 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.

My sister bought me HIStory when I was still a kid and I listened to it then, although now I consider it the weakest material he ever produced by a long, long way. It's actually a little embarrassing. Invincible was an album i warmed to actually, I think it's much the better record. Not fantastic by any means but it's decent.
