JACKSON'S THIS IS IT TOPS DVD CHART
MICHAEL JACKSON has scored another number one - the late King of Pop's THIS IS IT film has topped America's DVD chart.
The documentary was put together using footage from the star's rehearsals ahead of his doomed London comeback concerts.
The cinema release of This Is It has grossed more than $165 million (£103 million) worldwide after it hit screens in October (09).
And now the DVD has followed suit, selling more than 1.2 million copies in its first week of release (ends31Jan10), according to The Hollywood Reporter. The music movie saw off competition from Bruce Willis' sci-fi film Surrogates and horror sequel Saw VI in second and third places respectively.

Michael Jackson film tops DVD chart
Michael Jackson film tops DVD chart Michael Jackson has scored another number one, as his concert-film This Is It tops the DVD chart.
The movie was a huge success at the cinema, now fans are enjoying it in the comfort of their own home. It follows the singer as he prepared for his ill-fated London gigs.
It shifted 1.2million copies in its first week in the US, and is flying off shelves in the UK.
This Is It director and MJ's friend, Kenny Ortega, is glad of the reception: "I was just concerned that in the end it would serve the fans, that they would get from it what they needed to get from it"
If Jackson had been alive he would have been just finishing up his mamouth O2 residency. The late King of Pop was due to begin the 50 dates in July last year, just before he died on June 25.
