Talk:List of Michael Jackson records and achievements

message: I have removed Man In The Mirror, it should not go back on until an official source has been found.  I in fact know that it wasn't number one as I paid particular attention at the time.  It peaked at #2, held off by Cascada's Evacuate The Dancefloor.79.69.203.4 (talk) 13:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: UK Number One Singles

message: When I look at how he is described, the title "American musician" doesn't cover who he was. It should say "Michael Jackson is the most successful musicians and composers in the history of popular music (Guinness World Records). He was a multiple Grammy Award winning African American singer-songwriter, poet, composer, multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur, record producer, film producer, painter, human rights, and peace activists (Guinness World Record Most charitable entertainer ever)."

thread_title:  Michael Jackson's achievements 

message: Michael Jackson was not named Artist Of The Millenium by MTV. On a MTV Special Show which aired in Mexico on August 2005 (and in many other places of the world)they talked about this, the producers of that year's show said they didn't name Michael Jackson the Millenium Artist and they never intended to. They clarified that Brtiney said, and i quote "to me Michael Jackson is the artist of the millenium...happy birthday Michael" she said to her, and MTV never told her to say that, that was spontaneous. We now what happened next, Michael came out and didn't even thank anyone for his cake (which was the whole point of the section) and he said something about he couldn't believe he was named Artist Of The Millenium by MTV (which in fact they didn't).
:I've put this back on as MTV now say Michael Jackson was indeed the true recipient of the award.  I have added an MTV source.79.69.203.4 (talk) 13:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  ITS WRONG!! 

message: This is very untrue. According to a wikipedia article on the biggest selling albums ever, Pink Floyd's "the wall" sold more and was 2 CDs.81.156.66.226 01:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "1979 - Pink Floyd released The Wall, a rock-opera concept album, written and sung by Roger Waters. It became one of the best-selling albums ever, with around 30 million copies sold." http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/27273-on-this-day-in-entertainment Mads Højer (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  HIStory- biggest seling multi-disc album ever? 

message: Looking through this article, there were countless questionable statistics and many of them contradict things that I've heard before. The worst one is where is says that The Beatles and Elvis both sold more albums than him. I'm pretty sure he sold more than anyone.
* He's outsold Elvis, not The Beatles. His certified sales have remained stagnant even with massive surges here and there, especially when he passed away. After bombarding Sony with mail to put in requests to update his certified sales I've gotten nowhere except a "we're looking into it." Put simply: In terms of album and single sales alone (no movies, videos, ringtones or anything else included) The Beatles have sold 450-500 million, Michael has sold 400+ million (including J5 stuff) and Elvis has sold 330+ million. These three are BY FAR ahead of the next closest contenders. Record sales are exceptionally hard to track as a whole because it's hard to know what should count as a "record" sale and Michael's early work was out before most tracking was done using charts. It's surely over 500 million though, but The Beatles would be probably somewhere north of 600 million and again most of their work was before charts tracked sales.

So, this funeral, which can be considered the final performance of Michael Jackson has been:

thread_title:  RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

message: How has this article existed for so long with so few references? I'd go through and delete everything without a reference, but someone would just revert it and claim it was vandalism. Trivialist (talk) 02:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. The most questionable statement was that Michael's peak was determined to be in the 1980s and 1990s. No source was included. That makes that a subjective statement. Vichenry371 (talk) 17:51, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

message: On the Wikipedia page for Number Ones, Human Nature is listed as Track #6 on the European/Australian/Canadian/Japanese version of the album. Where it shows which countries the song reached #1, Canada is the only country listed. However, Human Nature is not listed under the Canada section of this article. 2600:1700:9060:2BD0:8131:66E0:48C:825 (talk) 21:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
