Not much good news for the recently swabbed ex-King of Pop. It seems that even Michael Jackson's hard-core fans have stopped spending money on him.

So far, Jackson's boxed set, "The Ultimate Collection," has not proven to be a sales winner. It's sold 14,000 copies since its release last month. The set sells for about $50 in most places.

This is in contrast to the Beatles' "Capitol Albums Vol. 1," which is similarly priced. Released on the same day as Jackson's set, it has moved 56,000 units so far.

The Jackson debacle is no surprise, but Sony Music can't be happy. It forked over a $3 million advance to Jackson in October for the boxed set. At this rate, total revenue so far is $700,000.

The rest of Jackson's catalog still sells a total of around 15,000 copies a week, mostly deep-discounted copies of the remastered "Thriller."

Now ask me if I am concerned that Mr. Jackson is not getting richer? NOT

I am glad to see that some people are finally coming to their senses! I could see doubting the reports once, maybe even twice but with as many "incidents" as there have been!

I am afraid I can not agree to join in with those who have quit buying his music.












I never bought any in the first place. :pound :pound
