You may choose to believe hacks like him, but please excuse me if I look for sources of more serious journalism, f'loon.

P.S. The word 'news' has 'new' in it for a reason.

Worst. Editor. Ever.

Thats all health concerned stuff. He has never commented on celebrity gossip.

And the stuff he said were backed up with proof. You say he is a hack because he said something good about MJ's carrer (which is true by the way), but you like to prasie those who constantly bash not only MJ, but most celbs in general.

What proof, f'loonie? Where is his proof that Wacko has the biggest selling album of all time?

Can you get any more stupid?

Thriller sold at least 65 million-108 million worldwide, while the second biggest selling album of all time sold just barly 40 million copies, making Thriller by far the biggest selling album of all time.

I think you are having a mental break down, if you say there is no proof that thriller is the biggest selling album of all time.

The main reason for Jackson's continued success is because he turned White.

Here's the latest post about Thriller on that thread:

"the Thriller "100 million" claims still make me chuckle!!! Guinness is just as unreliable as Wikipedia! Clearly accuracy isn't important to them."

Go! Go!

I think the most reliable number is more than 104 million. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-sel...

-The Thriller's Records says "Best selling album worldwide- 104 million copies sold internationally, 54 million in the US". After a few more stats, the source says: "Sony/BMG, RIAA, Billboard, Nielson Soundscan".-

Thriller has definitively sold more than 100 million copies.

Thanks for the article BTW, nice to have something to read on the job^^ TY KB50MJ

what a pity the Beatles never changed their colour, or molested boys, or lost all their money, or had little squeaky voices and couldn't play instruments and write tunes, they could have been as famous as Whacko.

Thats about obly 20 countries out of 120. So your short 100 countries.

For example, lets take India and china. THe two most populated places on earth. THriller is huge there and the bggest sellina album in inda. Now they have over a billion people, so those two countries alone mae a huge boost in sales.

You would have to be a fool to belive THriller only sold 47 million.

Like I said, I agree with that guy on chart places, but not record sales.

Here is where your wrong, MJ writes majority of all of his songs, he was even inducted into the songwritters hall of fame for it. And he can definantly play instruments, he is even credited for doing so in some of his albums.

Go! Go!

Plus, that guy is not even the gu I talked to.

Plus THriller sold at least 50 million in 21 countris:

USA 27 x Platinum = 27 million (Est = 28 million)/ UK 11 x Platinum = 3.3 million (Est =
3.8 million)/ Japan = 1,800,000 / Germany 3 x Platinum = 1.5 million (Est 2.5 million)/
Australia 13 x Platinum = 910,000 / Canada 2 x Diamond = 2 million (Est = 2.2 million)/
France Diamond = 1 million (Est = 3 million)/ Holland 8 x Platinum = 800,000 / New
Zealand 12 x Platinum = 180,000 / Switzerland 6 x Platinum = 300,000 / Belgium 11 x
Platinum = 550,000 / Finland = 92,000 / Portugal 3 x Platinum = 120,000 / Spain 6 x
Platinum = 600,000 / Argentina 10 x Platinum = 500,000, Sales = 577,000 / Mexico 4 x
Platinum = 600,000, Est = 1.7 million / Brazil Est = 1.2 million / Italy = 1.19 million /
Denmark 8 x Platinum = 180,000 / Austria 8 x Platinum = 400,000 / Singapore =
40,000 / Sweden 4 x Platinum = 400,000

Whacko can out-sell, out-perform, out-wank, out-pedo, out-monkey-molest, out-lie, out-cross-dress, out-duck-butter, and out-excrete any other plastic freak on earth.
