Michael Jackson had been out of the news for a while. His music sales had been dismal (what do you expect when you haven't released an album in eight years?). Lack of publicity and music sales are about the last thing a pop star needs. Well fret no more, Michael Jackson fans. Since June 25, MJ has been on the rise. Every major news station has transformed into entertainment news and lapped up every last drop of Jackson developments. Even music sales skyrocketed. From June 25 to July 1, Michael Jackson sold 2.3 million songs. Ladies and gentemen, the King of Pop is back!
