(Planet Jackson) 22/04/2002 INVINCIBLE: THE PROMOTION IS OVER JOINT NEWS REPORT FROM: PLANET JACKSON, ANGEL AND MJ NEWS INTERNATIONAL Today We Call Out To All Fans Of Michael Jackson In March 2002, the promotion of the INVINCIBLE album was discontinued by Sony Music, after only six months of release. Today, the three largest Michael Jackson Fan Clubs in the world launch the most important project of our existence. Today we ask Sony Music to promote the INVINCIBLE album. Historically, Sony Music have promoted Michael Jackson's music aggressively since 1975, and he has been a global priority for the company. We are asking for a return to this policy. INVINCIBLE was Michael Jackson's last album of new material for Sony Music. By late 2002, or early 2003, a Michael Jackson Greatest Hits set is expected to be released by Sony Music. The compilation will contain a few new songs on which Michael is currently working. This Greatest Hits set will be Michael Jackson's last record for Sony Music. INVINCIBLE is no different to Michael Jackson's previous records. It is a great album with several potential hit singles. Although it sold an incredible five million copies in only three months, sales suddenly stopped as the promotion abruptly ended. The potential of INVINCIBLE remains unexploited with only two singles released. INVINCIBLE has disappeared from the world's charts and currently shows no signs of returning. Planet Jackson, Angel and MJ News International today announce a unique joint venture. We are appealing to you if you are a fan of Michael Jackson's music, or even if you have been a fan in the past and still recognise that Michael Jackson deserves to be respected for an astonishing talent. MJNI, Angel and Planet Jackson wish to stress our belief in the importance of this project. We believe this is a pivotal moment in Michael Jackson's career and the future of the fan community. We ask sincerely that we forget all usual fan club "rules" and start working together immediately. We would also like to say "RESPECT" to the countless individuals and groups who over the past few weeks have already started campaigns to support Michael and the INVINCIBLE project. We want to work with you and are looking forward to discussions with you to help mobilise the fan community. We've set up a special e-mail address at [email protected] if you wish to play an ACTIVE role in helping organising events in your area in support of Michael and INVINCIBLE. This e-mail will be accessed by all three of the major fan clubs. We will publicise your fan-club or website if you wish to get involved Over the coming days, we will be launching a series of initiatives and revealing more details. We are asking all fans and fan clubs to come together and help us. NEW YORK SUPPORT RALLY, 24th APRIL 2002 The first project is a major demonstration of support for Michael and the INVINCIBLE album.
