Michael Jackson is dead - but will he be Christmas number 1? Bet on it!

So Michael Jackson is dead, and that's all very sad. But what's even sadder is that you just know some suit in a record company is rubbing his hands, safe in the knowledge that CD sales will now go through the roof. There's nothing but a surge in posthumous sales to keep the suits happy. Anyway, there you go - our advice is "Bet on it".

Bookies Paddy Power are predicting that the Prince of Pop will once again top the charts and are offering odds of 5/2 for the late singer to be this years Christmas number one.  Betting is also available on how many Michael Jackson songs will be covered by acts performing at this weekend’s Glastonbury Festival.

Paddy Power are also offering odds on the name of the inevitable Michael Jackson motion picture.  “Michael” has emerged as the 4/1 favourite followed by “Invincible” at 8/1.  Less likely options include “Black or White” at 50/1 and “The Lost Children” at 100/1.

Paddy Power said “No matter how you feel about Michael Jackson he was one of the biggest influences on modern pop music and we’re sure his massive contribution will be celebrated at Glastonbury this weekend”
