Up to tenfold increase in sales of Michael's albums in England

Following the airing of Living with Michael Jackson in England, sales of Michael's albums in this country have increased by up to 1000 percent. Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesperson for HMV, said today that the huge increase in sales of Michael's albums is truly astonishing. "These albums are flying off the shelves of our music stores across the country. To understand how crazy this is, I have to tell you that sales of HIStory, his album of greatest hits, have become ten times higher this week. Sales of his Thriller album were only on Tuesday—five times higher." In Great Britain, sales of the Jackson Five albums also increased by up to five times.
