Hits Magazine Tip of the Week
Michael Jackson was recently at Sony Music headquarters in New York, meeting with Epic Records personnel to discuss the massive fall rollout of a two-disc greatest-hits package that includes five new tracks. Jackson inner-circle members Sandy Gallin and attorney John Branca also attended the meeting, which mapped out marketing strategies. The project will be the first released by Jackson since he became embroiled in charges of sexual misconduct, and its commercial performance will be closely watched.
