Sales Are Strong for Michael Jackson’s Music

From Media Decoder:

It is awkward, to say the least, to suggest, as the media critic Michael Wolff did on CNBC Friday, that Michael Jackson’s death “is the ultimate comeback” for the singer.

Awkward, yes, but not necessarily wrong.

Mr. Jackson’s albums are topping the moment-by-moment best-seller charts on Amazon.com and Apple’s iTunes Store.

Amazon.com said Friday that sales of Michael Jackson CDs and MP3s increased 721 times overnight from typical daily sales, Sharon Otterman and Liz Robbins report.

A ringtone version of “Thriller” also ranked among the top ringtones on iTunes.
