Michael Jackson: My Ultimate Playlist

He's everywhere... Sitting here in the living room Saturday, a car roared down Montague Street with "Thriller" blaring. Taking a shower on Sunday, Lite FM played "Billie Jean." At Splash Monday evening—Broadway night—videos from "The Wiz" aired. At Tuesday's LIFEbeat event, the DJ played three Michael Jackson songs.

And on my iPod, I've loaded my own MJ Greatest Hits... I've been listening pretty much non-stop since Friday, pulling out all of my Michael Jackson CDs to assemble the ultimate playlist. God knows I'm not alone. He sold 400,000 albums in the three days following his death. Another 1.8 million tracks were sold online. The top-selling digital tune: "Man in the Mirror." On iTunes, he currently has 21 of the top-selling top 40. Only those pesky Black Eyed Peas are in front, at No. 1, with their repetitive novelty song "I Gotta Feeling." We'll see how well that's selling in a couple months...
