Michael Jackson: Son
built 228 days ago
Jackson released the album "Invincible" in 2001, which was, for all intents and purposes, a commercial flop. It was heavily promoted by Sony and cost a hefty 30 million to produce. The album spawned one moderate hit "Butterflies," which was remixed with rapper Eve, In 2002, Jackson accused Sony of racism and said the label failed to adequately promote his album. Sony was shocked, saying they spared no expense in touting "Invincible"'s release. The accusations only served to further solidify Jackson's reputation as "out of touch" with reality.

Jackson recently agreed to allow Sony/ATV to expand aggressively under Marty Bandier, the newly appointed chief executive. The company now ... has an option, which it has so far declined to exercise, to buy a further 25 per cent of the business from its partner.

In the meantime the expected following album, “Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 2â€, was scrapped for reasons unknown, although it could quite possibly be due to Michael frustration with Sony. Among Michael's complaints was that Sony had not fully supported the release of his second solo album resulting in its poor performance in the U.S. compared to "Faith". Sony responded that Michael had refused to appear in promotional videos and it was this that had caused the poor response to the album.
