Michael Jackson has broken a record for fastest one-day sales with his Number Ones album just days after his sudden death.
The 50-year-old legend passed away on June 26 after he reportedly suffered a heart attack.
However, it has now been reported that there has been an 80-fold increase in demand for the star’s Number Ones album and it has now shot from 121 to number one in the UK.
His single Man In The Mirror was at number 11 in the recent UK charts show and five of the King of Pop’s albums were in the top 20.
A spokesman for HMV said: “We’ve never seen anything like it. The demand for Michael Jackson hits has just been phenomenal – even more than when Elvis, John Lennon and Freddie Mercury died.
“It’s the greatest one-day sales for any artist’s album ever.”
Mexican pop superstar Paulina Rubio’s Miami home was broken into recently and the alleged burglar only took two very important things – her house keys and a remote control to her front gate. That’s creepy. According to the official police report, cops “noticed doors to the home wide open … and footprints within the home”. Thankfully, the singer was out of town when the incident happened. The documents also said that cops couldn’t tell if anything was actually stolen but were later informed of the loss of the keys and remote control. A watch order has been placed over the property due to the creepiness of what items were stolen. Cops are waiting to get their hands on a copy of Rubio’s surveillance tapes.
The Jonas Brothers are featured on the July cover of Rolling Stone to discuss the band and address all the haters. Kevin talked about their music credibility saying “I think we are working to make that trade without having to give anything up. But I think it will take time, because of where we came from. I would honestly say to anybody, if you were in a band like us, you would take advantage of those platforms too. It’s easy for people to say, ‘No, I’m a real rock & roller,’ but I think you do what you’ve got to do.” Joe talked about haters saying “Personally, I’m not in the band to say, ‘Hey, you need to respect us, take us seriously,’ because that’s kind of stupid. We’re doing it because we love it, and we don’t care what age group we attract. If they like our music, they like our music, and if they don’t, fine. We don’t need you like our music.” Nick didn’t say much but it seems that he has taken over as the band’s creative lead.
LeAnn Rimes is complaining to anyone who will listen about the pressures of being in the media spotlight. That’s what happens when you’re a public figure and when you cheat on your husband with your co-star. The country singer turned Lifetime TV star recently told Shape magazine “I feel like people are looking and pointing at me like I’m in a fishbowl. I’ve learned to let it roll off my back, but it’s super hard, and it really hurts. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 14, so I have a tough skin. It’s fine dragging me through the mud, but don’t drag my loved ones through it.”
