Jackson setting new chart records

July 08, 2009 The self-proclaimed "King of Pop" certainly ruled the Billboard charts in the 1980s and beyond, but his posthumous sales are setting all kinds of new records. In fact, for the first time ever, all Top 10 chart positions on the Catalog Album Chart are occupied by one artist as Jackson takes each spot. Prior to this week, there were 419,000 Jackson digital track downloads in Europe/Oceania through the first 25 weeks of 2009; this week alone there are 552,000 digital track sales.
