Last but not least: Jacko's mysterious absence from the Swiss hit parade
Ever since Michael Jackson passed away, sales of his albums have skyrocketed all over the world. All over the world? Not quite. In a small country known for its mountains, watches, and cows, the King of Pop is missing from the charts.
Since Michael Jackson passed away, sales of his albums have skyrocketed all over the world. All over the world? Not quite. In a small country with lots of mountains, clocks and cows, the King of Pop is missing from the charts: he chose the wrong time for his death. According to 20minuten online, the current Swiss hit parade, which has been published since Wednesday and will be presented on the radio at the weekend, was based on the previous week's sales figures. And as Jacko only died on Friday night, he won't storm the Swiss charts until the weekend after next. So Papa Jackson has nothing to worry about: His son's death is also making the cash registers ring in Switzerland - even if a look at the current hit parade suggests otherwise.
