Best Selling CD of 2009
What's the best selling album of 2009? Michael Jackson's catalog title Number Ones.
Michael Jackson's Number Ones Is Now the Bestselling Album of 2009
Okay, this wouldn't have happened had he not died. But still. The best selling non MJ album, by Taylor Swift, is close to 2 million. Here we are 9 months into the year, and no 2009 release (Taylor's came out late 2008) has gotten to 2 million.
Would this have happened 10 years ago? No. Now albums debut big, some at half million and then limp to double platinum status. Free music has changed everything.
