Why is that unlikely? He hasn't done anything new worth noting since the early 90s. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 06:40 6
- Not just new stuff. Number Ones sold 2 million copies -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 06:47
- A decade is a long time, compared to one day. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 06:44
- "Invincible" in 2001. Which before anyone yells at me. Is a very underrated CD - MDH Jul 8, 06:42 3
  - Underrated or not, it didn't take off or connect with the masses at the time. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 06:44 1
    - True, but it still sold moderately well. -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 06:45
  - Agreed. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 06:43
"Amazon sold more of the pop star's recordings in the 24 hours following his demise than it had in the whole of the past decade." - TFox Jul 8, 06:37 7
- I really think this is false, especially with the numbers this seems impossible. - MDH Jul 8, 06:44 5
  - Keep in mind you probably need to factor in the size and total sales of Amazon 10 years ago. In 1999 it was a shadow of what it is today. - Ender Jul 8, 06:51
  - I mean, here's the link. I don't have it direct from Amazon's lips, but these guys tend to be incorrect infrequently. -- (link) - TFox Jul 8, 06:46 3
    - It's actually all merchandise, not just music. -- (link) - mara Jul 8, 06:51 1
      - Ahhhh..... there it is. Consider the hole plugged. (good lookin out, mara.) -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 06:52
    - Thanks, I had no doubt you had read it. I just think when you look at the #s it's not possible -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 06:49
- Huh. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 06:40
