Michael Jackson's death has had an unbelievable impact at iTunes. Currently, 9 of the top 10 albums and 6 of the top 10 singles are his. It's interesting what people are choosing too (I'll admit, I took the opportunity to round out my singles collection and finally purchase Off the Wall). Here are the current top 10 albums and singles.

10. "Black or White" - Michael Jackson
In fact 39 of the top 100 singles are currently his (some appear multiple times, depending on what album it's been purchased from). Others:
11. "Billie Jean"
13. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)"
15. "Beat It"
17. "Rock With You"
20. "Bad"
26. "Remember the Time"
28. "Dirty Diana"
30. "You Are Not Alone"
32. "Human Nature"
35. "Beat It"
38. "Thriller"
Beat It, Billie Jean, P.Y.T., Smooth Criminal and Thriller all appear 3 times. Of course, none of these will appear on the Billboard charts, since they're all recurrent/catalog releases. Maybe they'll do something special.

ADH, I've just spent £89 cleaning out the iTunes Store, buying every single Michael Jackson album and song or EP I saw.
J! You must have some allowance (or a summer job). Well, what do you think? What's your favorite album?
I'm currently reviewing the Thriller album right now. Thriller IS the best pop album ever created! I like how it's a masterpiece but it's not overrated. 9 solid tracks that never gets old. As for allowance, my mum loves him too so she's not as mad as she would be if i'd spent £89 on britney spears. Specifically I bought almost everything on the Michael Jackson page.
Well, it's certainly worth having. Enjoy.
