I could not believe my ears last night whilst watching 'Coronation Street' (a UK Soap Opera with around 10 million viewers). During the interval an advertisement was shown for the latest Michael Jackson Album and in it he is shown with a crown on his head whilst it is announced 'The Greatest Artist Of All-Time'. I would not have minded this had his record label not been Sony, the same as Elvis'. However, this now places Elvis in a dilemma. No wonder his latest records are not selling so well - Jackson (in death) has stolen his thunder (with the compliance of Sony). If it's any consolation at all it is in the following statement just issued by 'Music Week':

 

"After getting off to a slow start last week, Michael Jackson’s Epic- and posthumous-released Michael continues to under-perform: it is destined course to slip out of the albums top five this Sunday with sales plummeting by more than 50% week-on-week."
