Michael Jackson’s unexpected death in June has led to an “extraordinary surge in sales of his work” that will boost profits at Chrysalis, the music publisher said.
“It’s good news that his songs are being played on the radio,” said Andy Mollett, chief financial officer of the company, which receives royalties from several of the artist’s songs, including “Thriller”, “Rock With You” and “Off The Wall”, through its relationship with the songwriter Rod Temperton.
