'Michael' not no.1 — Despite reports

Although he will never lose his place in musical history, some are either battling to face the facts that he is gone and his album is not no.1 or they are still trying to milk more money out of his death.

News from the Jackson camp, is that the album 'Michael' is the " no. 1 global album," but it isn't. The album was actually beaten by both Taylor Swift and Susan Boyle, who continued their 1-2 reign on the Billboard charts.

Team Jackson also reported that Sony Music/Epic Records shipped more than 3 million units of Michael worldwide in its first week, making it one of the biggest releases of 2010. Shipped. Not sold. The copies actually SOLD are placing him in third place - In effect, the Jackson release hasn't even gone gold yet

Although it did come in at no. 1 in some countries for sales, why the misleading press? None of the stats will change his place in history-or his great music.
