Next week, Michael Jackson will once again make music history as many of his albums are poised to shake up the Billboard charts with incredible sales increases. The impact of Jackson’s passing was felt immediately in the marketplace. Industry sources report that the demand for Jackson’s albums were so high, many brick and mortar retailers simply ran out of whatever Jackson stock they had on hand on Thursday (25) night. The albums with the greatest sales increases — at least on the physical side of things — look to be his greatest hits packages “Number Ones” and “The Essential Michael Jackson” along with the expanded reissue of “Thriller.” The sets, released between 2003 and 2008, were the three Jackson albums that perhaps had the most stock available in stores. In the digital realm, where the supply problem doesn’t exist, Jackson’s songs and albums swarmed the top of the constantly-updating best sellers lists in both the iTunes’ and Amazon’s online music stores. At one point on Friday in the iTunes Store, nine out of the top 10-selling albums and 40 of the top 100-selling songs were by Jackson. Billboard and SoundScan’s new weekly charts will be released on Wednesday, July 1.

The one and only mashup wizard, DJ Earworm did it again! Just like last year, he mashed the Billboard Magazine’s Top 25 hits of the year into one song! We were speechlees last year, so we dunno what to say now :D Pls Mr Earworm keep this habbit and turn it into a mash culture tradition! Here is what the Wizard had to say about his creature: – This year in the charts, we’ve gone all soft. The songs are sexy and defiant, less macho than in previous years. Accordingly, I’ve selected Coldplay as the instrumental track, giving the whole year a sort of symphonic feel. This edit is called “Viva La Pop”, and I hope to post more edits soon. – Yayyyy, yayyy more edits! Here is the video till we can post those nu versions.

Uhhh heyyy games are not just for kids anymore? Billboard? Video Game song chart? Later is better than never ;) But the thing is, maybe they should make an another list and try to focus on other games as well than Guitar Hero and Rock Band. You know music games without music are kindda dead, so having a best ever list based on many music game songs is lame. My personal fave video game song is the 99 Luftballons by Nena in the GTA Vice City, just sooooo sick, or the Fluke's Atombomb in Wipeout, or waiit how about the Faitless remix of The Cardigans' My Favourite Game in Gran Turismo 2?
