Apple will not be selling Michael Jackson's "This Is It" album in the iTunes Store, according to confidential information leaked late Tuesday to Digital Music News.

The release is a stand-alone, double-disc audio set which will hit stores October 26th throughout the world, and October 27th in North America.

Sources indicate that Sony Music Entertainment and the Jackson estate decided to only allow downloads of the entire album. Since Apple insists on individual track downloads the album will not be for sale on iTunes.

Apparently, AmazonMP3 will get exclusive rights to sell the digital album.

You can pre-order the physical album for $9.99 ($8 cheaper then the list price).

There will always be those who convict a man without evidence even in his death even in a country built on the premise of innocent until proven guilty. The last "victim" came out crying recently, in tears sorry for what his father had told him to do in accusing Michael just to get money. It's sad that it took his death to move him to do that, something that would've been much more constructive during the trial. We all failed him, a man who was a musical genious that didn't toe the line on the way we believe celebrities should react to a 50 year life of constant intrusive and abusive light. His body of work speaks for itself. When someone accomplished so much for others as well as himself it's crazy to think that some people would try to bury him in hate especially when all he was about was music and charity. It's sad but those same people have a unique hate in their own heart that only they can truly extinguish, agonizing to know you just can't reach some people.

The guy was weird he had parties with little kids and sleep overs. There are numerous people that say he touched them. He went to court how many times for this? Ya thats what I thought... Never was convicted because he had the money to protect himself.
