(BBC NEWS) (billboard) (Nielsen soundscan) (Sony) (HMV)
'The essential Michael Jackson' album had already sold 6million double albums before Michael's death and a planned shipment of 4million was in place to cover sales over his THIS IS IT concert period where the album was expected to linger in the top 10 in most charts around Europe and the rest of the world. However, moving fast Sony reports it has now shipped 17million copies in total across the globe. A further 1million copies of Off the Wall and other albums like Dangerous (2.75million), Thriller (1m), Thriller25 (5m), Bad (2million) and Invincible (1million) have been shipped to cope with the new high demand for Jackson albums.
But even with that extra 1million Invincible has now sold just over 11million (some say lower due to lack of platium certifications) but these numbers allude to SHIPMENTS (estimated sales in upcoming months), making it lag behing 'The essential' by some way.

Current sales after new shipments

'Number Ones' - 13 (includes 4m just shipped)
'The essential Michael Jackson' - 17million
'Invinvible' 10.5million
HIStory 22.5*

*'HIStory' had sold 21million double albums (42million units) a further shipment in the UK of 750,000million double albums has been put in place for the growing demand as this unextpected 1995 epic and my personal favourite climbs to #17 in this weeks album chart.
Within a year Sony expect HIStory to have outsold its original goal of 25million, possibly even 30.

(NOT SUCH A FLOP NOW!!!)
