Are you trying to tell me he was as popular or relevant as he was in the late 80's early 90's? Really? How many times did you listen to any of your MJ albums, CD's, tapes in the past 10 years. I bet like most peoples, yours were collecting dust and only now they are breaking them out again.

Again...another misconception. The average consumer may assume MJ is irrelevant, just because he hasn't released any new material in said amount of years...but on the contrary, if you review BDS global reports, you would see that MJ STILL has substantial global spins for an artist that hasn't released any new material within the same time-frame. And now with his death, the reports are going to be flooded with MJ, Jackson 5, and Janet data.
So what exactly constitutes his irrelevance?
