Online, July 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Beijing, China - Michael Jackson's album sales hit a high unseen since his heyday in the 80s and 90s after his passing, and DHgate.com, a major China wholesaling platform, is reporting that sales of MJ-related products and the profits for retailers buying them have continued to grow after the one-year anniversary of his death.

Some of the highest-return and most sought after Michael Jackson-related products on DHgate.com include:

"People love Michael Jackson now more than ever", said James He of DHgate.com.

"Our China wholesale traders' sales figures, as well as the profits that retailers are making by reselling items from DHgate.com traders, show that now that Michael Jackson is gone people feel the need to hold onto him more than ever", Mr He continued.

Fans have commemorated the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death in some unusual and impressive ways. There were mass slumber parties in Tokyo, Michael Jackson imitators in Hong Kong, a tribute concert featuring Christina Aguilera, James Morrison, LL Cool J and Marc Antony. In India, a renowned sand artist created a much-photographed sculpture of Michael's face on a beach in the Bay of Bengal. However, evidence from record sales since the singer's death is that most people remember him in the usual way - by listening to his music and watching DVDs of his performances.
