Michael Jackson a Hit with Sprint Music and Radio

The Sprint Music Store reported its biggest single day ever, with
25 percent of the tracks sold belonging to Michael Jackson on Friday. Sprint Music Store
sales have increased 21 percent on average since news of Jackson's death
Thursday.

The week before his death, Jackson ranked 80^th in Sprint
Music Store sales. Since he died, he's catapulted to No. 1. The most
popular downloaded tracks are "Billie Jean" and "Thriller," both from
the 1982 blockbuster album "Thriller." In addition, Jackson ringtones
constituted 28 percent of total sales on Friday. Top three ringtones are
"Thriller," "P.Y.T." and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

If customers aren't sure which Jackson songs they want, then they can
turn to Sprint Radio, which is offering a Michael Jackson bonus stream
through the end of July. The "Who's Bad" radio stream is available for
any customer with a basic data plan and access to Sprint TV. The stream
includes not only Jackson's vast collection of songs, but also tracks
from his early years with the Jackson 5. It also includes songs from
performers inspired by his legacy, including sister Janet Jackson and
Fall Out Boy featuring John Mayer doing a cover of "Beat It."

Sprint Music Store and Sprint Radio are available through affordable
Everything Data plans, starting at just $69.99 per month. With a Simply
Everything plan, customers can get unlimited data, talk and
messaging for $99.99, which offers individual customers a savings of
$1,200 over the course of two years vs. a comparable AT&T iPhone plan.

Palm Pre users should note they can not use the Sprint Music Store, they have to buy music via Wi-Fi and Amazon.com
