the comparison to the Michael Jackson hysteria's a bit of a loose one, really. The death of one of the greatest ever popstars, and a controversial public figure, was always going to boost public interest in his music and other exploits.
It's not really fair to compare it to "whatever performs on The X Factor will be #1 or a contender".
