[edit] Michael Jackson's achievements

I don't think that is all Michael's achievements..

[edit] Michael was not named artist of the millenium

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).

[edit] ITS WRONG!!

He was not voted artist of the millenium by MTV, why is it there, I am removing it and here are several links that prove it is not true[1] [2] [3]81.155.77.170 13:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== NUMBER ONES FROM ONE ALBUM ==


He isn't the only artist to have 5 number ones from one album - Westlife did it, I think the Spice Girls did it too.

[edit] HIStory- biggest seling multi-disc album ever?

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)

No it's fairly true all-right. The Wall had 23 million units in the United States and just over 30 million worldwide. HIStory, however, had 36 million worldwide. The Wall easily crushes HIStory in the US, but HIStory outdoes it internationally. This MSNB article says it explicitly: "1995’s “HIStory: Past, Present, & Future” is the best-selling multiple-disc album of all-time, with 18 million copies sold worldwide."UberCryxic 22:55, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
