In response to ""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."" by TFox

I really think this is false, especially with the numbers this seems impossible.

Invincible and all his collections albums. Considering that means they sold less than 422,000 cds of his in 10 years? And 422,000 as the total album sales for that week, not just from amazon. roughly 181,000 digital sales that week. So MJ sold less than 181,000 CDs on amazon in 10 years. No freaking way.

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
