#1 global cliposphere slot for the day Michael Jackson

Just in case anyone needed reminding - possibly one of the greatest dance troupes in the world at the moment hit over 1 million views like a rocket and grabbed the #1 slot globally by a mile today with their tribute to Michael Jackson; news, entertainment, music all rolled into one; a sure win in the cliposphere.

Enough of Boyle - back to the movies !
