MJ “This Is It” Debuts On Top

MJ’s ‘This Is It’ moved an eye-popping 373,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan — the fifth-best sales week for an album in the U.S. this year.

The companion album to the musical documentary film of the same name is Jackson’s sixth No. 1 on the tally and it arrives with his best sales frame for an album since 1995’s “HIStory” started atop the Billboard 200 with 391,000 copies.

Rounding out the top 10 is Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint 3,” which slides six places to No. 10 with 41,000.
