The Essential Michael Jackson

The Essential Michael Jackson is a compilation of thirty eight tubes of Michael Jackson produced by Epic Records and left in 2005, exploring the talent of the singer, of Motown with the Jackson 5 (end of the year 60) with its last success, You Rock My World (2001). It left on June 19th, 2005 to the State-Plain , and a day earlier in the United Kingdom.

The album received a mitigated reception, because much regarded it as an useless compilation, after the relative success of Number Ones two years earlier. It however reached the second place of the English charter, with the astonishment of much, and was sold with close to 200  000 copies in five months. In the United States, the promotion of the album was tiny, which explains its modest eighty sixteenth place.

In France, compilation is a nice success, exceeding the 300.000 specimens sold thanks to a campaign TV carried out by Lotfaï Lotfai.com. It is possible to re-examine the advertizing in several formats on its site.

For the small anecdote, Lotfaï carried out the two campaigns TV. For the second, Lotfaï used a band its without using only one piece of Michael Jackson. At least apparently. If the ear well is tightened, one can recognize the beginning of the song Will You Be There.
