I don't either, or any other MJ albums. Truthfully, I just don't get the whole Michael Jackson thing and that "albums sold" number baffles me.

Don't bother buying it, it's a singles album - might as well be called Filler.

Now Bad, that's an album

Really? I thought they both did fairly poor.

Apologies.

From all the sources ive seen, LH has sold around 4 million albums, it did well for a few weeks everywhere and then fell down the charts pretty quick! HAND album last source i found said around 7 million copies, apparently KTF album only sold 12 million so cant see HAND or LH getting near that!

I apologize to Mo ahead of time for this!

I don't see the appeal at all to MJ anymore. Maybe back in the 80s when Thriller came out. He deserved the praise then but why now?

Plus I don't think I have ever been able to separate his personal life to appreciate him as an entertainer. He has a lot of personal issues (putting it nicely). Plus the guy needs to stay away from plastic surgery for his own good anymore. It's sad when you have to place band aids over your nose just for it to stay connected to your face.

Meh, I have a passing interest in MJ. I own his "Number 1's" album, and I think he has some spectacular songs, overall though, I'm not crazy about him.

Because even though he's a little fruity now, it doesn't mean you rewrite any history he made then. (That said, I don't personally own Thriller or any other MJ albums either.)

And HAND sold 16m?? I love HAND but that doesn't seem possible.

Of course it didnīt. People seem to forget that their older albums are still being bought.

Yeah, I've heard 19-20m for Slippery, so to see 16m being thrown around in this thread nearly caused me to fall out of my chair.
