With the announcement of his ’This Is It tour’ in early 2009, Michael Jackson began shifting massive amounts of records.

In the aftermath of his untimely death, the King Of Pop sold even more, making him almost the highest grossing artist of 2009.

However, the music legend has just been outsold by teenage country star, Taylor Swift.

Yup, Billboard stats reveal that T-Swift’s 'Fearless' pips MJ’s ’This Is It’ to the post of biggest selling album of the year.

According to new data, MJ, Taylor, Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas have all also broken Rihanna’s 2008 digital sales record.

Last year, the ’Umbrella’ songstress shifted a whopping 9.9 million downloads - so we’re talking huge figures, here.

And in other big Jacko news, ’This Is It’, the movie, is smashing records.

After just two weeks in cinemas, the film has taken over $210 million globally and is on course to be the highest grossing concert flick of all time.
