Wrong. The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits is the best-selling album in history. Everyone knows that.

he owns the publishing rights, he bought them from ATV.
what i criticise him for is the shitty products he allows classic songs to be associated with. and the almost prostitution of the beatles legacy so that MJ can make squeeze another ride into neverland (oh, and you can take that either way - fairground ride, or 13yr old ride)
fyi - the beatles publishing rights WILL be owned by Macca and Yoko very soon....as at last estimate MJ was almost $100m in debt...he'll need every penny he can get his hands on

I have read svereal NEW interviews in the last 2 months in Mojo, Q, Uncut with Paul McCartney where the interviewer specifically pointed out that now that MJ is in serious financial trouble, how does macca feel about what happened with Northern Songs (the Beatles pub. co. owned by ATV and MJ).
Macca has stayed cool as a cucumber in every interview and said that MJ was a real s**T about sneakily buying and abusing the use of the Beatles songs...and so Macca is quite glad, that if MJ does not pay back the multi million dollar loan he took out to buy Northern Songs....
...then in a few years..the publishing rights will automatically revert BACK to Macca! Yeah!

I think it might be in america, but world-wide (and america really is nothing compared to the rest of the world) Thriller is estimated the highest selling, and Dark Side Of The Moon The seccond highest.

Also, His music is excellent, so I listen to it. Micheal Jackson may have commited those crimes, but his music didnt. Some of the best pop ever, if not the best.

He can sell the stuff he has to pay off his debt or perform for money.
