Just like Elvis Presley, who sold more records after ha had passed; Michael Jackson seems to be heading down the same obvious path. Nokia reports that seven of the ten most downloaded songs on Nokia’s Comes with Music service are by Michael Jackson. There is no question that the pop legend's star status has sky rocketed since his death, but very few people would have predicted such emotion. (If you could measure emotion from musical download statistics on mobile phones.) Nokia also disclosed that one in three Nokia Music users downloaded a Michael Jackson song. That is simply a staggering figure. Another music service Omnifone, has reported an increase of 525% in Michael Jackson sessions overall. This may not mean much if Michael Jackson was not overly popular with music fans prior to his death, but we are willing to bet the farm against that. Rest in peace MJ. You, your glove and your moonwalk will be remembered forever.
