Following his untimely death on 25 June, music charts across the globe have seen a surge in sales for the Thriller legend's hits.
And a compilation of his most beloved tracks, The Essentials, has shot into the top spot, knocking off his previous best-selling album, Number Ones.
Other Jackson records Off The Wall, Thriller and The Motown Years are all in the top five, with only Florence and the Machine managing to get a spot in the Jackson-packed chart, sitting at number two with Lungs.
In the singles chart, Cascada's Evacuate The Dancefloor holds onto the number one position, with La Roux track Bulletproof in at number two.
Jackson makes another appearance in the singles countdown with his Man In The Mirror at number three.
