The Jackson 5A comment on Michael Jackson last.fm page:
"note to trolls, troll-wannabes, and other such infantiles: Several hundred people have found out the hard way this past week that our patience for you is long gone. There is a zero tolerance level in effect here for any form of attacks, harassment, abuse, pathetic attempts to be funny (you're not), or other trollery. If it takes having your account banned to get that through your head, then so be it. You won't be missed. (Yes, waste-of-air trolls, until we deem otherwise this is a FANbox. Go make an ass of yourself in your journal, in a group, but you won't be doing it here.) - MODERATOR"

All I wrote in his shoutbox was "It's better than a comeback tour" which is not great thing to say I guess but from wikipedia about his record sales since his death:
"Jackson's record sales increased dramatically in the hours and days following his death, eighty-fold according to HMV. Bill Carr, Amazon's vice president for music and video, said the website sold out of all Jackson's CDs, and those of The Jackson 5 within minutes of the news breaking.
The demand placed enormous pressure on CD manufacturing plants. Sales of his music topped the two leading online music sellers, iTunes and Amazon.com, taking over most of the top twenty spots. His album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, soon to be replaced by his The Essential compilation, while another nineteen albums made it into the top 40. A total of 13 countries have pushed one of his albums to the number one spot on their iTunes chart.
In the UK, where he would have performed in less than three weeks, his albums occupied 14 of the top 20 places on the Amazon.co.uk sales chart, with Off the Wall topping the chart. His compilation Number Ones reached the top of the UK Album Chart on June 28, his studio albums occupied number two to number eight on the iTunes Music Store top albums in succession. Six of Jackson's songs also charted in the top 40: "
Man in the Mirror" (11), "Thriller" (23), "Billie Jean" (25), "Smooth Criminal" (28)", "Beat It" (30) and "Earth Song" (38). In total, 11 Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 albums made appearances in the top 200 albums, and 48 of the top 200 singles were also Jackson songs.
In the U.S., Jackson broke three chart records. The entire top nine positions on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Albums featured titles related to him. The compilation Number Ones reached the top of the chart with sales of 108,000, an increase of 2,340%. The Essential Michael Jackson (2) and Thriller (3) also sold over 100,000 units. The other titles on the chart are Off the Wall (4), Jackson Five's The Ultimate Collection (5), Bad (6), Dangerous (7), HIStory: Past, Present and Future (8) and Jackson's The Ultimate Collection (9). Collectively, his solo albums sold 422,000 copies in the U.S. on the week following his death. He also broke a record on the Top Digital Albums chart, with six of the top 10 slots, including the entire top four. On the Hot Digital Songs chart he placed a record of 25 songs on the 75-position list, surpassing the mark of 14 charting songs established by David Cook in June 7, 2008."

Don't get me wrong but like the former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker said yesterday 3rd July on his appearance on BBC political panel show 'Question Time' "If there's a tragedy about the whole thing, I would say that's that if he'd have kept making great records, like he did in the mid-'80s, up to now that would have been great. But for some reason, for the last 20 years he didn't do that, and for me that's the tragic part of it," Read it in full here: http://www.nme.com/news/jarvis-cocker/45838
