US fans shun Michael Jackson CD
Michael Jackson's latest greatest hits album has sold just 8,000 copies in the US in its first week of release, reaching number 128 in the chart.
The Essential Michael Jackson is the star's first release since he was cleared of child abuse a month ago.
Jackson's two-disc set went straight to number two in the UK - but he failed to match that success in his home country.
The number one US album, multi-artist compilation CD Now 19, sold 436,000 copies in its first week.
Jackson faces a struggle to repair his image and repay debts that prosecutors in his trial claimed amounted to $300m (£170m).
