Michael Jackson has pulled in half a billion dollars since his death and regularly tops our annual accounting of the top-earning dead celebrities. For that matter, he out-earned every living artist in 2010 and bested all but U2 this year; another nine-figure annual total seems likely with the success of the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour, a joint venture between the estate and Cirque du Soleil that placed Jackson back atop Pollstar’s touring charts in December. -Forbes (January 13, 2012)
Over the years, Michael (Jackson) was involved with numerous songs- as singer, as writer and as producer.
Many unreleased songs Michael wrote or co-wrote have been registered- most commonly by his music company Mijac Music- with one or more professional bodies, including: United States Copyright Office, Songwriters Hall of Fame, American performing rights organisation BMI, American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers, Canadian Musical Reproductions Rights Agency Ltd., EMI Music Publishing
Michael Jackson spent four decades as a songwriter, performer, recording artist and public figure and will be remembered as a consistent musical innovator and stylistic trendsetter.-Songwriters Hall of Fame

Michael Jackson's remarkable career scaled unparalleled musical, commercial and critical heights. His myriad achievements included being responsible for the best-selling album of all time, pioneering the music-video medium and virtually redefining the concept of the modern pop star. As a songwriter, he penned more than 150 songs, with more than 20 reaching multi-million performance status on American radio and television.-Songwriters Hall of Fame
To the morons that believe the BS lie the Elvis freaks/MJ haters posted here about Justin B suppose to be 'KOP' ---- the TRUTH is=there is ONLY ONE KING OF POP & THAT IS MICHAEL JACKSON. Justin Bieber is NOT the King of Pop..... Justin B has NOT been 'announced' as being the King of Pop..... & Justin B himself said=MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE ONE & ONLY KING OF POP.
Elvis freaks/MJ haters continue to show what desperate lying jealous jackasses they are:)
@gettyman1 naw the media FALSELY CLAIMED elvis THE KING while the REAL KINGS OF ROCK N ROLL were CHUCK BERRY AND LITTLE RICHARD michael was crowned KING OF POP by the FANS AND THE MEDIA along with ELIZABETH TAYLOR
@vanessajackson21 Elvis had more hit records than both of them combined, though they are great and very influential Elvis was still #1 in the 50's. mj crowned himself king of pop no one called him that until he asked Elizabeth Taylor to introduce him that way. the fans and media just went along with the PR
@gettyman1 michael was more SUCESSFUL than all of them combined WORLDWIDE they cannot touch mj, and LITTLE RICHARD AND CHUCK BERRY were FAR MORE TALENTED THAN ELVIS COMBINED mj did not crown himself shit the media and his fans did, that was ya fat god elvis STEALING and CLAIMING IT AS HIS when there were MANY WHO DID IT BEFORE HIM AND DID IT BETTER
@vanessajackson21 mj is #3 worldwide, fact, well maybe not even #3 he isn't very successful in Asia or Australia, yes they were more musically talented, but talent doesn't always mean more successful. Elvis was the most successful of all the 50's artists that's undeniable fact. mj most certainly crowned himself king of pop, Elvis stole nothing, it was all paid for in full. Elvis never claimed anything as his and his versions are mostly better, not all but most.
@gettyman1 worldwide mj is #1 FACT elvis was the most sucessful during the 50's due to racism not because of TALENT because he had NO TALENT TO SPEAK OF mj most certanily deserved his CROWN KING OF POP BY THE MEDIA AND HIS FANS elvis most certainly did CLAIM THE BLACK ACTS DANCE MOVES AND CLAIM IT AS HIS HE STOLE
@vanessajackson21 worldwide mj is #3 fact. Elvis was most successful in the 50's despite racism. he was banned from TV he was banned from many radio stations he still came out #1. Elvis stole nothing claimed nothing he said where learned to dance he gave credit to black artists, you mj fans really should stop the lying it won't help mj.
@gettyman1 but it doesn´t fit Justin Bieber*LMFAO*but I think you´ll agree there too,right?Imagine that there´re people who really think that!....omg!
@KaraokeForFun1 - Excuse me - What are you talking about being angry- are you serious?? i am 100% for Michael- Why did you say that ? i was just tryng to help you- I am soooooo Passionate when it comes to Michael- sorry if you feel that why..> You dont know me i guess- Please Explain why you said that??? thanks..>
Why have my fellow MJ fans got issues with MJ being #3? It's great. People are obsessed with being #1 this & #1 that. Anyway, the reason Elvis fans go on so much about sales is because the know that there's nothing do argue when it comes to talent. MJ had more talent in fingernail than Elvis. End of.

It´s slander with the words you use.You´re a parasite in black and white do anything for news and don´t you go and buy it and they won´t justify it to read and sanctifies it then why do we keep fooling ourselves?Just because you read it in a magazine or see it on a TV screen don´t make it factual but everybody wants to read all about it!!---Tabloid Junkie,by Michael Jackson.

@18vanessajackson When Britney Spears presented him with a birthday cake, an offhand remark about being the artist of the millennium inspired a rambling Jackson to accept a meaningless trophy (which everyone presenting on-stage received) as an actual Artist of the Millennium award. .—Billboard website
MJ didn’t get no Artist of the Millennium award—only in his delusions.hahaha
@hounddog39 ROTFLMFAO check the year 2000 dumbass he was awarde ENTERTAINER OF THE DECADE along with ARTIST OF THE MILLENIUM FACT! elvis can't touch michael worldwide or talent level FACT! michael has surpassed him years ago FACT!
[The boy] said that both he and Michael were wearing pj's and lying on Michael's bed. Michael placed his hand down the front of [the boy's] pajamas and started masturbating him. [The boy] said he told Michael he didn't want to do it, but MJ kept masturbating him. Michael told him, 'It's okay' and 'It's natural.' Michael did not stop masturbating him for a long time.' [The boy] could not recall if he ejaculated." The child said the molestation occurred during his final stay at Neverland.
Almost instantly,broadcast of "Living with Michael Jackson," there was a public outcry over the performer's acknowledgment that he was still sharing his bed with boys to whom he was not related. By the time the documentary aired in the U.S. on February 6, hundreds of T.V and print stories about Jackson's cavorting with minor boys were published, with many of the reports referring to the singer's previous $20 million settlement with a Los Angeles boy who accused him of sexual abuse.
The boy told investigators that Jackson similarly masturbated him on succeeding nights when his younger brother was not also sleeping in Jackson's bedroom. The boy claimed that after he ejaculated in his pants, Jackson directed him to place his soiled underwear into Jackson's hamper before showering. The Hanes garments were not returned, he reported, and Jackson provided him with new underwear.
Following his death, Jackson became the first artist to sell more than 2 million downloads in a week.
Michael Jackson's This Is It is the top-grossing concert film and documentary film of all time. The posthumous movie has earned earned over $250 million worldwide to date. It also set a record for concert films with $103.9 million in worldwide ticket sales in its first five days of release
@hounddog39 Elvis was very very successfull,yes,that´s true and I don´t deny that,because it´s true.He´s one of the greatest artists in the world,but still MJ surpassed him.Is it such a big deal?
@hounddog39 he clearly surpassed those mediocre at best bitches WORLDWIDE and guiness name MICHAEL JACKSON THE MOST SUCESSFUL SOLO ARTIST the pedo elvis is not in his class the FACTS which ya never post SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. MICHAEL JACKSON>>>>>> elvis the fat pedobear FACT!!!
@gettyman1 what rediculous lie it is still stated that MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE MOST SUCESSFUL SOLO ARTIST IN GUINESS WORLD RECORDS that ain't lie i know ya would like it to be since ya are a jealous racist troll but it is all a FACT it's in the history books and ya can't change that :)
@vanessajackson21 it was dropped in 2011 because it's not true and never was. once Guinness removes a record it no longer exists even if it did at one time.
@hounddog39 naw michael jackson is named the most sucessful solo artist in guiness, elvis is irrelvant and forgotten about he ain't and never will be in mj's class
@18vanessajackson Guinness dropped the ridiculously wrong mj the most successful entertainer award in 2011. it no longer exists so you can't claim it anymore.
Six of Elvis' recordings, all of them his original studio masters, have been inducted into the NARAS Hall of Fame: "Hound Dog" (1956 recording, inducted 1988); "Heartbreak Hotel" (1956 recording, inducted 1995); "That's All Right" (1954 recording, inducted 1998); "Suspicious Minds" (1969 recording, inducted 1999); "Don't Be Cruel" (1956 recording, inducted 2002); and "Are You Lonesome Tonight" (1960 recording, inducted 2007).

@KaraokeForFun1 "First Vocalist To Enter The U.S. Single Chart at No. 1 (You Are Not Alone); " again until 1995 or so Billboard wouldn't let any song enter at #1 so it's not such a big deal. "First Entertainer to Sell More Than 100 Million Albums outside the US; ' this is false,

@hounddog39 as you can see I´ll put the pieces together by showing you which records he broke:)!Where are we now?Oh yeah,the last one was the thriller video.I´ve one more to add to the list*lol*;)
@KaraokeForFun1 yeah MJ the highest paid because of inflation...nothing more! Just like Babe Ruth is undoubtedly the greatest baseball player ever but was underpaid compared to today's players...Babe Ruth's highest salary was only 125,000 dollars. Today's players are not half as good as Ruth and get paid millions of dollars. ELVIS is like the Babe Ruth of Entertainers! ELVIS should have gotten millions more than he did. BUT INFLATION helped MJ make the most money...Understand?
@hounddog39 what in the hell do ya mean inflation, if anyone has inflated numbers that is ELVIS he did not sale close to 1 billion records, how could he when his highest selling album only reached 10 million while michael's thriller album outsold that by 110 million, michael outsold elvis worldwide and he is the better artist, elvis inflated numbers and his mediocre talent are not in michael's class.
@18vanessajackson Because ELVIS had 27 top 10 albums to MJ's 7...ELVIS had 10 #1 albums to MJ's 6...You have to count TOTAL sales idiot...NOT one album. ELVIS sold 1 BILLION TOTAL Albums & Singles combined. MJ only has sold 230-350 million worldwide.
@hounddog39 total sells idiot michael has outsold him WORLDWIDE dumbass elvis did not sell 1 billion it is INFLATED because WORLDWIDE DUMBASS MICHAEL HAS OUTSOLD HIM IN EVERY COUNTRY. mj is estimated to have sold 750 million, ya ass is lying trying to downgrade his sales and inflate elvis numbers.
@hounddog39 RIAA inflates elvis numbers FACT! michael has outsold elvis worldwide FACT! the facts speak for themselves FACT! do ya damn research and quit looking at RIAA for ya source FACT!

Elvis Presley’s trophy room at Graceland is filled with gold and platinum records and awards of all kinds from around the world. Some of the countries represented are: Norway, Yugoslavia, Japan, Australia, South Africa, England, Sweden, Germany, France, Canada, Belgium, and The Netherlands.
It is estimated that Elvis has sold over one billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in record industry history. In America alone, Elvis has had 150 different albums and singles that have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with more certifications expected as research into his past record sales continues and as current sales go on.Research is also underway to document his record sales achievements in other countries.
Elvis has had no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in U.S.Of these,114 were in the top forty,40 were in the top ten,and 18 went to number one.His number one singles spent a total of 80 weeks at number one.He has also had over 90 charted albums with ten of them reaching number one.These figures are only for the pop charts and only in America.He was also a leading artist in the U.S.Country,R&B, and gospel fields,and his chart success in other countries was substantial.
His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared Elvis to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life.
Elvis has more RIAA certifications than anyone else and his international success is generally regarded as astounding.
Globally, Elvis has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His record sales have earned him the most gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards of any artist. Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award which he received at age 36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees.
In 2005, another three reissued singles, "Jailhouse Rock", "One Night"/"I Got Stung", and "It's Now or Never", went to number one in Great Britain. A total of 17 Elvis Presley singles were reissued during the year—all made the British top five.
Elvis’ 1960 single "It's Now Or Never" is one of the best selling singles of all times (if not the all-time best selling single), with sales estimated to have been between 25 and 30 million copies.
In July of 2005, ELVIS was named one of the top 100 "Greatest Americans," following a vote organized by Discovery Channel. In the vote, ELVIS ranked ahead of all entertainers and in 8th place behind Presidents Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, plus Martin Luther King and Benjamin Franklin.
Some of Elvis Presley's numerous accomplishments include being one of only three singers (including Roy Orbison and Nelly), to have two Top-Five albums on the charts simultaneously; induction into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, Country Music Hall of Fame in 1998, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Elvis’ image appeared on a U.S. postage stamp in 1993 and sold 500 million.
He (Elvis) is the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music—Wikipedia and Guinness World Records. Elvis has sold over 1 Billion records worldwide—Wikipedia and Guinness. Elvis holds the billboard record for most top 40 and top 100 songs on the charts—Guinness. Elvis has the most Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum awards than any artist—Guinness. Elvis has the most cumulative weeks on the U.S. and U.K charts—Guinness
Most successful solo artist is Elvis—Guinness World Records
A remix of Elvis’ "A Little Less Conversation" was used in a advertising campaign during the 2002 World Cup. It topped the charts in over 20 countries, and was included in a compilation of Elvis' #1 hits, ELV1S, that was also an international success. In 2003, a remix of "Rubberneckin'", a 1969 recording of Elvis', topped the U.S. sales chart, as did a 50th-anniversary re-release of "That's All Right" the following year. latter was an outright hit in the UK, reaching number 3 on the pop chart.
ELVIS’ concert in 1973, “Aloha From Hawaii,” was beamed via-satellight to 40 countries and 1.5 BILLION people tuned in to watch it. It was the first concert ever by an entertainer to be shown via-satellight around the world and also the biggest concert audience ever by an entertainer. If Michael Jackson was so good, how come he never topped this?

SPRINGSTEEN LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN- Fuck that, ANY Springsteen live album hints at why no one prooves it all night like the Boss.
DYLAN HARD RAIN Recorded mostly in a heavy downpour, Dylan mostly focusses on masterpieces from Blood on the Tracks, and baby, you WILL follow him down.

Brooke shields described jackson as a little virgin,her own words,she said he wasnt interested in sex with women,even described him as asexual.Thank god for that,the thought of that half-black half white rotting pervert,touching the beauties lovely pure skin is to sickening to contemplate.Nope,he never fucked a woman,not one.

Michael Jackson has pulled in half a billion dollars since his death and regularly tops our annual accounting of the top-earning dead celebrities. For that matter, he out-earned every living artist in 2010 and bested all but U2 this year; another nine-figure annual total seems likely with the success of the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour, a joint venture between the estate and Cirque du Soleil that placed Jackson back atop Pollstar’s touring charts in December. -Forbes (January 13, 2012)

Over the years, Michael (Jackson) was involved with numerous songs- as singer, as writer and as producer.
Many unreleased songs Michael wrote or co-wrote have been registered- most commonly by his music company Mijac Music- with one or more professional bodies, including: United States Copyright Office, Songwriters Hall of Fame, American performing rights organisation BMI, American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers, Canadian Musical Reproductions Rights Agency Ltd., EMI Music Publishing

Almost instantly,broadcast of "Living with Michael Jackson," there was a public outcry over the performer's acknowledgment that he was still sharing his bed with boys to whom he was not related. By the time the documentary aired in the U.S. on February 6, hundreds of T.V and print stories about Jackson's cavorting with minor boys were published, with many of the reports referring to the singer's previous $20 million settlement with a Los Angeles boy who accused him of sexual abuse.
hounddog39 3 hours ago
The boy told investigators that Jackson similarly masturbated him on succeeding nights when his younger brother was not also sleeping in Jackson's bedroom. The boy claimed that after he ejaculated in his pants, Jackson directed him to place his soiled underwear into Jackson's hamper before showering. The Hanes garments were not returned, he reported, and Jackson provided him with new underwear.

Just like Babe Ruth is undoubtedly the greatest baseball player ever but was underpaid compared to today's players...Babe Ruth's highest salary was only 125,000 dollars. Today's players are not half as good as Ruth and get paid millions of dollars. ELVIS is like the Babe Ruth of Entertainers! ELVIS should have gotten millions more than he did. BUT INFLATION helped MJ make the most money...Understand?
