Michael Jackson First Artist To Sell One Million Downloads In A Week
"Fans flocked to the late popstar's greatest hits, purchasing a record-breaking 2.6 million Jackson solo recordings and Jackson Five songs, according to Nielsen SoundScan data for the week ending June 28. Jackson also dominated Billboard's "Comprehensive Album Chart," which tracks both new albums and older catalog albums -- the first time a catalog album has ever scanned more sales than any new album."
