Michael Jackson didn't just dominate the news last week, he also dominated the charts: His Number Ones greatest hits album was the top seller according to Nielsen SoundScan, followed by Essential Michael Jackson, and, of course, Thriller, which each sold more than 100,000 copies. Jackson also became the first artist to break a million digital downloads in one week, with 2.3 million tracks downloaded. Oh, and his albums filled a record 9 of 10 slots on the Billboard Top Pop Catalog Album chart. In the meantime, the Associated Press reports, the Drug Enforcement Administration will help police investigate the singer's doctors and possible drug use, while speculation about where his memorial would be held now ranges from the Staples Center to the Los Angeles Coliseum.
