The end of Jacko?
Michael Jackson, perhaps the oddest man on the planet, has had more bad news. His new album, a collection of his greatest hits has bombed in spectacular fashion, selling only 8,000 copies in the US in it's first week.
The public were obviously very put off by the court case, but i didn't think this much. Jackson's problem now is that youngsters won't be familair with his older work, and since his latter music is largely poor, it's going to be hard to gain new fans. They have their own R & B icons such as Usher, Mario etc, and lot's of other less talented oiks.
At least he has Off the Wall and Thriller to his name, and Bad.
