Jackson opens at number three on the Album chart that will be published tomorrow. Swift moves back to number 1 with sales of 259,000 copies while Boyle drops to number 2 with 254,000.
Michael fails to get first week sales as strong as the This Is It soundtrack from last year which opened at number 1 with 373,000 copies sold. That album, however, was essentially a greatest hits set that also came out during the huge sales spike after Jackson's death.
Album sales for the week were 12.5 million units, up just 3% from last week. Sales for the year are at 303.94 million, down 13% from the same period in 2009.
I’m a huge 50s, 60s 70s music fan!
