Hot Topic: Rihanna Vs Mary J. Blige Vs Michael Jackson

Written by Trent | Filed under Hot Topic,Mary J. Blige,Michael Jackson,Rihanna

The highly anticipated Thanksgiving sales week showdown is finally here and three of the music industry’s biggest names – Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Rihanna – are about to battle for the top spot on the Billboard 200. However, regardless of hit singles, exciting videos and label propaganda, the only opinion that truly matters is yours so here is your chance to pick the victor!

The first name on the list is Mary J. Blige who is seeking to cement her position as R&B’s premier artist with her  ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)‘. Included on the set are the current single, ‘Mr. Wrong (Ft. Drake)’,  ‘Why (Ft. Rick Ross)’ and her powerful duet with Beyonce, ‘Love a Woman’.

However, Mary J. Blige will face serious competition from Rihanna’s ‘Talk That Talk’. The record is preceded by the vixen’s record-breaking #1 single, ‘We Found Love’, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Rihanna her 11th #1 single on the tally. ‘Talk That Talk’ even features an appearance from Jay-Z on the title track.

Finally, Michael Jackson’s legacy is set to live on via the release of ‘Immortal’ album. Serving as the soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour’, ‘Immortal’ will be issued via Epic Records in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson. 

So which album will you buy – ‘My Life II’, ‘Talk That Talk’ or ‘Immortal’? Cast your vote below, explain your selection in the comment section, grab your money and support your choice!

   Mike’s sales will speak volumes. I respect Mary as an artist, but this is Mike we’re talking about.

    I can’t see Michael’s album doing too well, since it’s not him. It may be his voice and his words, but it’s not him. There is no way they can capture that MJ vibe unless he himself was in the studio for this every step of the way.
