It is impossible for Wacko to have sold a billion records, especially in the era of internet piracy and free downloads. Michael Jackson only sold 200 million before his death, 9 to 12 million after his death. The only artists that sold billions of records are Pelvis and The Beatles. I do not claim inflated numbers for Prince, but he most definately is clobbering Michael Jackson in sales with his enormous back catalogue of albums and hits.

The new milestone continues Jackson’s reign as the best-selling artist of all time, with over 100 million sales for “Thriller” worldwide and 1 billion total sales to his credit.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller has become the first album ever to be certified 30 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 30 million sales in the States.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) made the announcement Wednesday (Dec. 15) with the Estate of Michael Jackson, Epic Records and Legacy Recordings, as the new milestone continues Jackson’s reign as the most selling artist of all time with over 100 million sales for Thriller worldwide and 1 billion total sales to his credit.
Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’: Classic Track-By-Track Review
“RIAA has awarded Gold & Platinum records on behalf of the music business for nearly 60 years, but this is the first time an artist has crossed the 30X multi-Platinum plateau,” RIAA chairman and CEO Cary Sherman said in a statement. “We are honored to celebrate the unique status of Thriller in Gold & Platinum history. What an exceptional achievement and testament to Thriller’s enduring spot in our hearts and musical history.”
Jackson’s Thriller was released Nov. 30 1982 and spent nearly 2 1/2 years on the Billboard album chart with 37 weeks at No. 1, holding the modern day record. It was also the first album in history to spend its first 80 weeks in the album chart’s top 10, which has only been replicated once since.
From Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ to Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’: Albums with Five Top 10 Hot 100 Hits
The Quincy Jones and Jackson-produced LP was also the first ever certified RIAA 20 times multi-platinum, doing so after 112 weeks on the album chart — less than two years in all. Seven tracks off the album became top 10 singles with three — “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — topping the singles chart.
Worldwide, Thriller topped charts in nearly every market, hitting No. 1 in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, South Africa, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and apartheid South Africa. The album won a record-setting 8 Grammys with nominations in 12 categories — another first.
“It is crystal clear that Michael Jackson is simply the greatest and biggest artist of all time,” Epic Records chairman and CEO LA Reid said in a statement. “Not only are his charts hits and sales stats staggering, but his pure musicality was other-worldly. Thriller was groundbreaking and electrifying…it was perfection. I am extremely proud that Michael is the heart and soul of Epic Records and he will forever remain the one-and-only King of Pop.”
I love your smartest, true posts! Go on… dear MJ fan! Yes, Bow to King Michael now & forever! We love you Michael! Brilliant man, artist, entertainer ever! Long live King of Music, King of the most valuable, precious Masterpieces Michael Jackson! We love you brilliant Michael!
Michael Jackson had no talent, unless it was convincing fools that he was. Prince certainly was way more talented. The purple one is ruling the world charts. Look at Prince’s amazing sales. He has easily beaten and surpassed Michael Jackson. That animal was promptly removed from the record books.
Vulgar, unrefined comment. It is the same animal, the owner whose posts have usually a crass attitude shameless through his own hate and his own hateful human nature. Yuck! Woe @ such haters, nasty and so poor spirits, brains! The same rude attitude, nasty words used as usually. Too bad! This poster who come here under many otherwise nicknames: such Observer, Anon.., Prince supporter… The great purple… so on & on.. is a sore loser! To this Hater & other haters as him, shame on you! Bad, so bad, so rude are all comments do here and on KoM by you. Go away!
“The Very Best Of Prince” is a brand new number one album for Prince as of May of 2016. On the singles charts, both “Purple Rain” and “When Doves Cry” recharted in the upper reaches of the top ten. We know that “You Are Not Alone” was Michael Jackson’s last number one pop hit in the US, and “Earth Song” was his last number one in Europe in 1995. That was over 21 years ago. Prince is still selling like wildfire, but you Michael Jackson fans automatically cover your eyes and ears to the truth of Prince’s domination over your tarnished hero. Why is that?
Can you try to do for us a favor, please! Yes, if you want , you can try to do it! Please, even you can try to do our recommendation!
Can you try to stop your own ugliness, shameless matter of brain which you expose its here & on KoM?! It’s time to do it. We are sick (full) to read your hateful words, so tired of your so boring and repetitive insults, crass lies, on & on.. Can you, even now.. can you try to understood us, pls?! Please, stop your rude, cruel.. nasty attitude in your posts! You know Prince isn’t here on SoA. Your posts are so irrelevant for all of us, believe it. It’s time to you to think more & profoundly at our request of common sense and try to do something nice, good things in your own thinking, into your own mind and into your life, please! Please, try try try.. to do it!
We beg you, can you try to make a little place in your cold soul where to come peace, love, faith?! Yes, you can. Try to get more, more & more in the bottom of your heart, mind, into cause of your own hate and if you really want that love, peace, understanding to come into your brain to govern your spirit, sure you’ll find means and you’ll manage its to help your hateful mind! Thank you.
Have you a nice Sunday, full by God’s blessings in love, peace, joy, faith! Keep the Faith!
Wacko’s last number one pop single was in 1995, over 21 years ago. Of course, Michael Jackson cried and blamed the “devil” Sony for his dwindling sales. Nevermind, that the woodpecker made racist comments and saw nothing wrong with s******* with various victims in his b**. All caught on candid camera or audio. Because of his behavior, 100 million Michael Jackson CD’s were disgarded in the trash bins around the international globe.
His nose.
His chin.
His awards.
His inflated sales numbers.
His marriages.
His text tube children.
His videos.
His songs. (not composed by the woodpecker)
His dancing.
His stage performances (lip synced)
His hair.
And more…..
Wacko was a compulsive liar. He lived in a fantasy world of delusion and dirty tricks to manipulate the media, his faithful flock.
Prince did not have to play that game. It was all about making music.
Wacko lied and played dirty tricks. His fans just repeat them, hoping that they will stick as bond. In reality, Wacko made so little. He used the over rated sales of Thriller to claim impossible sales for just 7 studio albums in the last 3 decades of his life because he did not want to work, unless it got huge sales. Prince did not care how much he sold. He was doing music out of love, not hyped up sales numbers to inflate and stroke his ego.
Prince loved music. Wacko loved publicity and payola.
It is now hovering towards 182 million in sales for Prince. Why do you clowns always take numbers from the past and suggest that they are never going to be updated?
Yet, you believe grossly inflated figures for Michael Jackson that are impossible in the age of free downloads and internet piracy of music.
I expect red judgements because you Michael Jackson fans are blind for Wacko. It means nothing. It’s not the real world. Everybody knows that Prince fought Warner Brothers for creative expression and went out of his way to do uncommercial music for the sake of artistic freedom, which meant very little support in promotion. That is because Prince already had enough money and did not care. He just wanted to put out multiple discs of music for his hardcore fans that appreciate superiority. Otherwise, Prince would not have made Jazz recordings. Prince wanted to do other things besides make pop hits. He was a musical genius and got bored with playing the recording industry games. So Prince purposely cut down his sales for art?
His most popular records and greatest hits collections are still selling well to the masses. Wacko never did Classical or Jazz recordings because all he he could ever do is dance and lip sync under the flashing lights.
Would not it be better to look at yourself in the mirror? If you fail to see your own faults, try help from an expert person in psychoanalysis! Sure, you urgently need this help!

You’re not exactly very bright are you?
Wacko definitely has poor sales.
Wacko’s last number one pop single was in 1995, over 21 years ago. Of course, Michael Jackson cried and blamed the “devil” Sony for his dwindling sales. Nevermind, that the woodpecker made racist comments and saw nothing wrong with s******* with various victims in his b**. All caught on candid camera or audio.

Never happened to Prince.
1995 Prince last number one
And wacky?
1996
That’s NOT impressive.
1997
Less impressive.
Everything about Wacko was fake.
His nose.
His chin.
His awards.
His inflated sales numbers.
His marriages.
His text tube children.
His videos.
His songs. (not composed by the woodpecker)
His dancing.
His stage performances (lip synced)

Wacko was a compulsive liar. He lived in a fantasy world of delusion and dirty tricks to manipulate the media, his faithful flock.

Never truer words have been spoken.

Correction:
It is now hovering towards 182 million in sales for Prince. Why do you clowns always take numbers from the past and suggest that they are never going to be updated?
Yet, you believe grossly inflated figures for Michael Jackson that are impossible in the age of free downloads and internet piracy of music.
Prince Has 300 million sales.
This week he is gonna have another 50 million sales World wide.
He surpassed elvis and Michael.
I expect red judgements because you Michael Jackson fans are blind for Wacko. It means nothing. It’s not the real world.

Prince Has 47 number one hits
More than elvis and Michael together
Nope!
Yikes! Aren’t wacky’s fans extremely dim,dumb and uneducated?
Would not it be better to look at yourself in the mirror? If you fail to see your own faults, try help from an expert person in psychoanalysis! Sure, you urgently need this help!
