Fed up of hearing Man In The Mirror everywhere you go? You are not alone. However, don’t think it’s going to let up anytime soon, because the numbers people behind the UK music charts have confirmed that Jackson is set to smash all chart records this week, with six singles set to chart in the UK Top 20 on Sunday. Northern Irish singer Ruby Murray held the previous record which has stood since 1955 when she had five singles in the Top 20, but Man In The Mirror looks set to knock La Roux off the top spot…
When Man In The Mirror was originally released it only crawled to No.21, but Jackson’s death has elevated the song to iconic status now. His Number Ones album has already catapulted to the top of the UK album chart, so if you don’t fancy wall-to-wall MJ coverage, you’d be advised to turn off your radio now and tune in to one of RealMusic’s custom-made stations instead - we’ve got hundreds of stations guaranteed Jackson-free.

Meanwhile, Benny Andersson has quashed rumours that Abba will reform to take over Jackson’s O2 dates. “No-one’s asked us and if they did we wouldn’t say yes,” he said in an interview filmed for BBC One’s Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
