MJ is only comparable to the Beatles and Elvis in terms of success, period
Probably because they were the closest until that point. MJ blew them both out of the water
people bought albums in 2002 too, you f***ing idiot
TES was really suffering from bootlegging though....I remember it leaking around two weeks before the album was supposed to drop so they had to push it forward. 2002 was pretty much when music sales started to go downhills.
Eminem WAS way bigger in 2002 than any rapper has ever been, if you're talking worldwide.
Eminem had a huge peak from 99-03. It was like Beatlemania.
I didn't get to fully experience it but I know it was huge. Eminem is still more famous than most rappers overseas too.
Girls were listening to nsync all of a sudden they were em fans

Closest on a worldwide scale would be 50 Cent in 2003, 50 Cent in 2005, or MC Hammer in 1990.
