Michael Jackson for number one

The tragic passing of Michael Jackson has seen a massive surge in his record sales.

Everyone's been buying his hits, but because there are just so many, he has narrowly missed out on getting into the top 10 this week.

Man In The Mirror entered the charts at number 11 and four other Jacko singles made the top 40, but we don't think that's good enough. We want Jacko for number one!

You can download Man In The Mirror (and Jacko's other hits) from Napster and Virgin Media users also get one month free.

Ironically, it's another Jackson at number one, La Roux, who is fronted by singer Elly Jackson.

What's your favourite Michael Jackson song? What would you like to see at number one?

    I'd love to see Heal The World get to No1, as it's a great song and by god the world does need healing. Someone should set up a MJ Foundation Charity with all the money raised going to disadvantaged kids and trying to put right, the wrongs done to the planet.

    RIP MJ. You are legendary. My faves are "The Love You Save", "Dancing Machine" (especially live videos of that one) "Off the Wall", "Workin' Day and Night", "Rock with you", "Lady in my life", "Human Nature", "Dirty Diana", "Another part of Me" has grown on me lately, "Give in to Me", "In the closet", "Earth Song", "They don't care about us" and more. Basically I have faves off each album. How many artists have hits on each album in a career like that?

    So all you bozos who've had your souls removed just cant get your heads around the fact that Mr M.Jackson was the man with the groooove's and the moves. So what if people are buying his music,they might just be discovering it for the 1st time or reliving the 80s.Get a life and buy an album and enjoy. For the record i like rock soul blues jazz ska classics and even some opera!! But the man who makes my feet move is MJ.. RIP. May you grooooove for ever. xxxxxxxxxx
