Xscape Album

Michael Jackson's new album Xscape continues to be among the best-selling music releases in its ninth week since launch.

Album sales in the United States have reached approximately 365,000 copies and over 1 million worldwide.

Now in the album's ninth week of availability, Michael Jackson continues his Top 20 chart success with Xscape. The album sold 12,619 units this week, a four percent decrease in sales from last week's 13,083 copies sold. Overall, Xscape has sold 364,656 units.

In June, Forbes reported on the success Michael Jackson's work has had since the singer's passing. "Add up the earnings of Jay Z, Taylor Swift and Kanye West since 2009, and the total is $544 million," Forbes said at the time. "It's an astounding sum, but Michael Jackson has earned more than all three — combined — since his death five years ago." Xscape only helps that figure grow.
