Jackson’s Airplay Up 1735%
According to Billboard.com Michael Jackson’s Radio Play has jumped 1735 percent in the days following his death. Sales of his music have emptied shelves as millions continue to mourn the artist’s death. But where was this outpouring of appreciation a week ago? Do you really have to die in order to get a bit of airplay these days? In the week before his death only one of his songs, Rock With You, posted more than 500 plays, since then 22 tracks have beat the 1,000 play mark, with Billie Jean topping the list at more than 4,500. I wonder if someone has an unreleased track or two? This would be the perfect time to get it out, all things considered.
