Nokia reveals Michael Jackson Comes With Music stats
Nokia is the latest digital music company to reveal the booming popularity of Michael Jackson songs since the star’s death a couple of weeks ago.
Globally, seven of the ten top downloaded songs by Comes With Music users last week were by Michael Jackson, according to figures shared with Music Ally by Nokia. He also accounted for nine of the top ten albums.
In fact, one third of all CWM customers downloaded at least one Jacko track last week, with Billie Jean the most popular, followed by Beat It. Jackson jumped from the 21st most popular artist on CWM globally before his death, to first place now.
It’s very much a global thing, too. In Mexico, 25% of all CWM downloads last week were Jackson tracks, while in Brazil, he accounted for 25 of the top 40 downloads. Meanwhile, downloads of Jacko songs increased tenfold in the United Arab Emirates.
