Fans are rushing into music stores to snap up recordings by superstar Michael Jackson.
Some store workers said stocks of Jackson's CDs had sold out this morning - just hours after news of his sudden death.
Jackson's record sales worldwide are said to be as high as 750 million - a number that could now rise significantly.
"Nobody was prepared for this," said one music industry worker.

Music retailers expect a jump in sales of Jackson's CDs in the wake of his sudden death.
JB Hi Fi music product manager Derek Durrant foresees a surge in Michael Jackson CD sales throughout the chain's 100 locations.
"We are anticipating a pretty strong demand for his product because of the profile of the artist," said Mr Durrant. "His music has been pretty ageless."
"He would have been one of the most popular recording artists in Australia over the years"
"All of his albums were big in Australia," he said, adding that Michael Jackson recordings "still sells well for us even prior to what's just occurred".

Michael Jackson was already in hospital when he died...he was in the children’s ward having a stroke

Apparently he died of food poisoning - he ate 12 year old nuts.

When Farrah Fawcett got to heaven God granted her one wish. She wished for all the children to be safe. Shortly afterwards Michael Jackson died.

Undertakers have just announced that now that Michael Jackson is dead he will be melted down into plastic toys so kids can play with him for for a change!!

I hear the Jackson 5 records are now selling 20% off !

raspberry for that one Matt.
