SiriusXM Launching Michael Jackson Channel

SiriusXM announced today that it will launch The Michael Jackson Channel, a limited-run channel dedicated to the late singer Michael Jackson's extensive solo musical career.

The Michael Jackson Channel will feature the King of Pop's music beginning with the breakout success of his 1979 "Off the Wall" album through the present.

SiriusXM listeners will also hear music from the new album "Xscape," which features eight new recordings. "Xscape" is scheduled to be released Tuesday by Epic Records.

The channel will also feature reflections and stories from the producers who worked on the new album.

The Michael Jackson Channel runs from 5 p.m. EST today through May 26 via satellite on Channel 50 and through the SiriusXM Internet radio app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online.

Jackson has sold 1 billion records worldwide, released 13 No. 1 singles on the Hot 100 (a record for a male artist) and is one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
