LISTEN UP! → Michael Jackson Made $1 Billion Since Death
June 21st, 2010 by JD
WOW!!!!!!!!
This may be unseemly to say, but it’s sadly true: Michael Jacksonmight be worth more dead than alive. Thanks in part to a lucrative new record deal with Sony Music that extends through 2017 and the most successful concert film of all time, Billboard estimates that MJ Inc. has generated at least $1 billion in revenue in the year following his death. Through interviews with industry experts and our own number-crunching, Billboard examines the various music-based revenue streams that have flowed into the Jackson estate in the past 12 months.
Music Sales
Value: $429 million
Since his death, Jackson has sold approximately 9 million albums in the United States, while the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons have sold about 800,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Outside the States, Jackson’s album sales for the past year stand at around 24 million units. Based on a blended worldwide retail sales price of $11.62 ($12.30 per unit less mechanical royalties), Billboard estimates that Jackson’s album catalog generated about $383 million in sales.
On the digital side, Jackson’s songs have generated 12.9 million track downloads in the United States in the past 12 months, according to SoundScan. Based on those figures, Billboard estimates that the total number of worldwide downloads is about 26.5 million units, with a value of $34 million (net of mechanical royalties).
Jackson’s ringtone sales totaled 1.5 million last year in the States, with the bulk coming after his death. Digital ringtones sales worldwide are about twice that stateside, which brings Jackson’s global ringtone tally to 3 million. At $2 per unit, ringtone revenue was about $5 million last year (net of mechanical royalties).
Monies generated from subscription services and digital performance royalties typically amount to about one-third that of mobile revenue, so Jackson’s catalog probably generated about $2 million from those streams.
U.S. digital performance royalties represent about 13% of the revenue generated by single track downloads. Applying that rate to global track sales, Jackson’s recording catalog generated another $4.5 million from global digital performances.

MOVIES → CAPTAIN EO
February 22nd, 2010 by JD
HAPPY TO SEE THIS BACK, AS A MATTER OF FACT IT SHOULD BECOME A MAIN STAY.
Twenty-three years ago, at the height of his phenomenal entertainment career, Michael Jackson joined forces with Disney to create “Captain EO,” a groundbreaking 17-minute 3D film experience.
We are excited to confirm that the classic musical spectacular that thrilled Disneyland park guests from 1986 – 1997, will return for an exclusive, limited engagement at Disneyland park beginning in February 2010!
The attraction’s return to Tomorrowland will provide new audiences the opportunity to experience the original 3D production for the very first time, as well as a nostalgic look back for longtime fans wanting to see “The King of Pop” in a rare performance created for the big-screen, just one more time.
“Honey I Shrunk The Audience” will be closing sometime in the next few weeks to make way for the Captain’s return.
NEW SHIT → Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol Together at Christie’s
October 26th, 2009 by JD
BOY!!!!!! EVERYBODY IS CASHING IN ON MJ
Christie’s is looking for a thrill on November 10, 2009. The auction house is sending an Andy Warhol portrait ofMichael Jackson under the gavel, with a presale estimate of between $500,000 and $700,000. The piece, measuring 30 inches by 26 inches, is one of a small collection of silk-screens the King of Pop Art created of the King of Pop in 1984.
The Jackson piece is being sold by an anonymous collector in New York, according to Brett Gorvy, the deputy chairman of Christie’s. The current owner purchased it from the Andy Warhol foundation sometime in the 1990s.
Forty-six lots will be auctioned along with the Jackson portrait, and there will be two other paintings by Warhol.
Back in August, a similar Jackson painting by Warhol was sold. The buyer chose to remain anonymous, and nobody will reveal the price … except to say that it went for more than $1 million.

MICHAEL CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE WORLD
August 13, 2009 – Global | Retail | Rock and Pop
By Paul Sexton, London
There’s a second week at No. 1 on Billboard’s European Top 100 Albums for “The Collection” (Sony Music Entertainment) by Michael Jackson, who continues to have three of the chart’s top four titles. Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” (Ultra/B1) leads European Hot 100 Singles for a fourth week.
Jackson also holds at No. 2 on the pan-European survey with “King of Pop” and No. 4 with “The Essential,” falling 7-9 with “Number Ones.” But “The Collection” remains Europe’s favorite among his compilations, holding at No. 1 in Spain, Denmark and the Belgian region of Wallony, climbing 4-2 in Germany and holding at No. 2 in Italy.
“King of Pop” is still on top in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, but down 1-2 in Holland, while “The Essential” is the U.K.’s best-selling artist album for a sixth straight week (the artist’s best-ever unbroken run there) with sales last week of 34,000. It’s also steady at No. 3 in Switzerland and No. 6 in Portugal. “Number Ones” has its best ranking in Germany, where it’s down 3-4.
