He was the King of Pop – a Hotshot in life, and also in death.
The death of Michael Jackson at age 50 would be the biggest entertainment story of the year… and even six months later the stories and developments continue.
Rest in peace.
The news was stunning. In fact, it causes the closest thing to an internet meltdown that we’ve ever seen. (TMZ, Twitter, Perezhilton, and the LATimes reported sporadic shutdowns after the news.)
And despite the controversies about Michael Jackson’s personal life, his public life – as witnessed through his music – reigned supreme over this past year, and it continues to reflect the impact of this legendary man.
Not only have his record sales skyrocketed since his death, the name “Jackson” also climbed the chart of popular baby names of 2009. His concert film ‘This is It” has grossed more than 252 MILLION worldwide.
Michael Jackson has proven that his popularity will live on forever.
