Maybe I’m missing something (and I probably am, because until Adam came along I have never paid attention to media reports etc. about celebrities), but don’t Michael Jackson’s children have a *mother(s)* – or did he find the kids in a pumpkin patch?

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sure I read it before (probably many times) but forgot about it - these charts just seem needlessly complicated.</blockquote> Sorry Hazehel - there are so many threads floating around I can't keep track of where I've posted. Albums that have been out for 78 weeks (a year and a half) and that have fallen below #100 on the Billboard 200 chart will be moved to the catalog chart. This should apply to most of MJ's stuff unless he recently had a compilation or reissue or something that hasn't been out for more than 18 months. Songs that have been on the Hot 100 for 20 weeks and fall below #50 are removed to the recurrent chart. Songs that chart on the Hot 100 but then fall-off before meeting recurrency criteria can reenter the main chart, but in order to do so they must be receiving active promotion as a single from the record label. So even if some of MJ's old songs never charted long enough to be moved to the recurrent chart, they still won't re-enter the Hot 100 because they aren't being promoted as singles. A good (Idol-related) example of this chart rule was Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, which got a major sales-bump after Jason Castro sang it during S7, but it was not eligible for the Hot 100 because it was not currently receiving label promotion. So again, the charts where MJ will make his mark this week (and next as well) are: Hot Digital Tracks, Hot Digital Songs, Comprehensive Albums, Catalog Albums, Digital Albums, and Internet Albums.

Rumor is they are already married.
