We may be coming up on the 1-year anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson but that doesn’t mean that we’ve heard the last from him. Lawyers for the estate of the late Michael Jackson have reportedly brokered a recording contract for unreleased music, DVDs and video games from the King of Pop that is estimated at $250 million … which would make this deal the biggest in music history! Now that the deal is done, we can look forward to new music from MJ … and the first album of new material is scheduled for release this November:

Even in death, Michael Jackson remains the King of Pop. Less than a year after his shocking passing, the administrators of the late pop icon’s estate have signed the biggest recording contract in music history, a deal that the Los Angeles Times speculated could be worth up to $250 million and include unreleased recordings, DVDs and video games. The seven-year deal with Jackson’s longtime home, Sony Music Entertainment, could cover up to 10 new Jackson projects, though no specific releases were announced on Monday. “We and Sony feel that the future for Michael Jackson is unlimited,” said John Branca, a special administrator for the estate. In a testament to his enduring appeal, the Jackson deal eclipses a number of mega-deals signed by contemporary acts, including Bruce Springsteen’s $110 million deal with Columbia Records in 2005 and Robbie Williams’ $150 million pact with EMI in 2002. According to an anonymous source with knowledge of Jackson’s financial dealings, in the nine months since his death the singer has sold more than 31 million albums at a time when the music industry continues a decade-long album sales slide. In fact, the combination of those sales and other licensing deals cut by Branca have brought in close to $250 million to the estate, which has helped to ease the burden of the nearly $500 million in debt Jackson owed at the time of his death. Rob Stringer, the chairman of Columbia Epic Records, the Sony division that will likely handle the releases, said the recordings will “span across different projects. There may be theater. There may be films and movies. There may be computer games — or multimedia platforms that I don’t know about today that will happen in 2015″ … The estate’s other executor, John McClain, who worked with Jackson for over 40 years and helped produce the singer’s last studio album, 2001′s Invincible, is compiling an album of previously unreleased material that could [likely] be released later this year. “John McClain tells me they’ve got over 60 unreleased recordings that they’re choosing from,” Branca told the Times. “The first album will have around 10. There’s some very recent stuff and vintage stuff that deserves to be shared with Michael’s fans.” Jackson is said to have left behind more than 100 unreleased songs that could be mined for releases for decades in the same way that the recordings of Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix have since those performers’ deaths.

I understand that the contract has built in extensions that could be expanded out to 2017! In total, the deal is for 10 projects which will run the gamut from CDs to DVDs to games to theater productions? At this point, the sky’s the limit. For $250 million, apparently you get the opportunity to do whatever you want with this treasure trove of unreleased MJ material. Altho I am not a big fan of MJ‘s most recent music, I have to admit that I’m very curious to hear it all. Might there be other Thrillers, Billie Jeans, or Beat Its yet to be heard? We’ll find out … over the next 7 years! Excited?
