Jackson-themed production in works
LOS ANGELES — So, maybe "Michael Jackson's This Is it" wasn't quite it after all?
Jackson's estate and Cirque du Soleil announced plans Wednesday for a Jackson-themed touring production, "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour," that is set to open in Montreal next October. The arena tour, which combines the performer's choreography and music with the Quebecois circus troupe's signature acrobatics, otherworldly staging and aerial dancing, will travel to 27 cities across North America.
The writer-director of "The Immortal World Tour," Jamie King, served as Madonna's creative director for the last dozen years, overseeing such projects as her 2008 "Sticky & Sweet" tour. King previously worked with the
According to King, the new show references every stage of Jackson's career, combining pop spectacle with the esoteric, theatrical qualities associated with such Cirque du Soleil shows as "O" "Ka" and "Zumanity."
"From the moonwalk to the iconic choreography we've seen in 'Thriller' and 'Beat it' and 'Bad' — all his mini-movies and music videos — mix with the world of Cirque," King said in an interview. "You shake it and can literally turn it on its head."

That makes it the fastest-selling album in more than five years, since March 2005, when rapper 50 Cent's "The Massacre" moved 1,141,000 units. Since that time, overall album sales
have dropped nearly 50 percent.
have dropped nearly so pale,
"It's an incredibly rare feat," Keith Caulfield, associate director of charts for Billboard, said Wednesday. "Even if you put aside the depression of the music market, and look back over the last 20 years, this has only happened 16 times, including this week. That's already a staggeringly tiny number.
"Thinking of it in terms of where we are today,"he said, "it speaks volumes as to her popularity, how she engages her fans and how she engages with more than just one hot single; it's more about the whole package."
