Michael Jackson's 'Ones' Rises

Michael Jackson: At No. 27, his "Number Ones" set zips up 156 slots on the chart -- the second-biggest leap on the tally (19,000; up 78%), marking the highest rank for the King of Pop's 2003 best-of set since the tally dated Jan. 24, 2004, when it was No. 24. However, it did spend six weeks at No. 1 on the now-defunct Comprehensive Albums chart in 2009, after his sudden death. Why didn't it chart on the Billboard 200 back then? As many chart-watchers know, the Billboard 200 barred catalog albums (older releases) from charting between 1991 through the end of 2009. Since the end of 2009 though, the chart now allows all albums -- regardless of their age -- to co-exist in chart harmony.
