Michael Jackson has dominated the UK singles chart this week with 20 of his hits re-entering the top 75.

Following the King of Pop's death, fans have been downloading more of his hits than ever with his 1988 track 'Man In The Mirror' leading the way at No 11.

This was followed by 'Thriller' at No 23, 'Billie Jean' at No 25, 'Smooth Criminal' at No 28, 'Beat It' at No 30 and 'Earth Song' at No 38.

Other Jackson tracks which re appeared in the charts include 'I Want You Back' and 'They Don't Care About Us'.

Jackson's 'Number Ones' compilation record, which was originally released in 2003, topped the UK albums chart.

On Apple's iTunes and Amazon.com, 8 out of the top-10-selling albums for download were from Jackson, with a compilation album, "The Essential Michael Jackson" in the No 1 spot.

The No 1 spot in the UK singles chart was taken by La Roux with their single 'Bulletproof'.
