Michael Jackson Still Running The Game
That’s right MJ is still running the music charts. Honestly, I’m still upset that he is gone and I can’t believe it. Have they prosecuted that freaking doctor that killed him anyway?? You know what….I’ll get back to you on that.

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.”
