NORMAL -- If Jeff Wilson had 100 posters of Michael Jackson in his record shop, he believes he could sell them all.

"People are saying they are sorry to see him go and that they expected to have him around a couple of more decades," said Nathaniel McCoy, sales manager of Borders, 200 Greenbriar Drive.

The store has a special display of Jackson material, including CDs and magazines focusing on the King of Pop, who died unexpectedly last week. His funeral on Tuesday drew a huge worldwide audience.

Though he couldn't give sales figures, McCoy said demand was so great that Borders ran out of Jackson material, but now has a good supply.

Wilson, co-owner of North Street Records, 117 W. North St., Normal, has sold about 20 Jackson CDs since the singer's death on June 25.

Nationally, Nielsen SoundScan reported Jackson's solo album sales in the U.S. skyrocketed from 10,000 copies in the week before his death to 422,000 in the week ended June 28.

Tish Baxter, an assistant manager at Wal-Mart, 300 N. Greenbriar Drive, said the store is selling about four times the Jackson music that it would normally.

"We have a good supply," Baxter said.

Wilson sold a Jackson 5 poster for $50 on eBay, and he believes fascination with Jackson will continue for awhile.

"People want to remember and memorialize him," Wilson said.

SoundScan said three of Jackson's albums are in the top three spots and 2.3 million tracks have been downloaded in the U.S. since his death.

The top three albums were "Number Ones," "Essential Michael Jackson" and "Thriller."
