We lost a music legend this week and tributes have been pouring in for Michael Jackson. Fans have been flocking out to buy his albums and download individual tracks, resulting in 43 of the top 200 singles featuring Michael and a total of 11 Michael Jackson or Jackson 5 albums featured in the top 200. The legacy he leaves behind is his music, which will continue to live on.
