The biggest comeback concert, ever

And while he's getting set to storm the stage, Michael Jackson's resumed his dominance on British playlists, and how.

The Sun reported an overnight 110% increase in purchases of Jackson's Bad, a 155% increase in sales of the newly rereleased Thriller album, even as his Dangerous spiked up by a whopping 165% and his 1979 classic album Off The Wall started selling 200% more.

Promoters of the concert say the first ten concerts alone could earn Michael over 50 million. And this isn't including tie-ins, merchandising and DVD rights and a slew of extras that will make sure the artist ties up his financial woes with one sweet, long moonwalk.
