"Bad, he's bad, he's very bad"
Further proof that there's no such thing as bad publicity. It was reported last week that Jacko was enjoying a sales surge here in the UK after last week's documentary, and now the full horror has been revealed in yesterday's album chart. Draw your own conclusions:
#37 Re-entry - Greatest Hits - History Vol. 1
#48 Re-entry - Thriller
#73 Re-entry - Bad
#93 Re-entry - Off The Wall

Oddly enough, not even this surge has brought the most recent Invincible album back to life.

Elsewhere in the album chart, it's a very good week to be dead, with new entries from Aaliyah, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole (who really ARE dead) Nick Cave (who just looks that way), plus Robin Gibb, whose brother has just died, Roxette, Billy Ocean and Lisa Stansfield (whose careers died ages ago) and Pet Shop Boys (arguably going the same way, as Disco 3 hobbles into the chart for quick visit at #36).
