You're right it's only 160 per state........ that's even sadder. I didn't even think about the math I heard this on the radio and just basically typed as they talked.
What's even scarier and a sign the whole music industry is dying ..... Carly Simon sells only 58,000 and is #7 on the charts....
His 8,000 is worthy of 128 on the charts???????.....
Back in the day selling low numbers like that wouldn't get you even close to the charts....... where it would get you is the cut out bin where they sold you for pennies..... and the production of that album would be stopped immediately.
Here's the article and link:

Jackson album fails to wow US fans
Michael Jackson’s new album sold just 8,000 copies in its first week in the United States.
The singer’s sixth greatest hits album, The Essential Michael Jackson, limped into the charts at number 128 as fans appeared to snub the star.
The figures will come as a huge blow to the one-time King of Pop, who had hoped to make a comeback after being acquitted of child sex abuse last month.
The Jackson album was beaten by the likes of 1970s star Carly Simon, whose new CD Moonlight Serenade entered the chart at number seven, and the Dukes of Hazzard soundtrack.
A spokeswoman for Nielsen Soundscan, which monitors US record sales, said: “Michael Jackson is quite a way down there. Carly Simon sold 50,000 albums more than him.
“Christian singer Guy Penrod even sold 11,000 copies of his new record.”
Jackson, 46, has sold more than 300 million albums since he first hit the charts as a child with the Jackson 5. His new album was launched by Sony BMG last week.
The two-disc set includes songs spanning his entire career, from 1970’s I Want You Back to 2001’s You Rock My World.
