Less than three months after its release, Michael: Songs From the Motion Picture has achieved its first official sales certification.
The official soundtrack to the Michael biopic has now been certified Gold in Italy by the Italian music industry, recognizing sales equivalent to 25,000 units in the country. The achievement marks the first certification for the album since its release on April 24, 2026.
Featuring 13 songs spanning Michael Jackson’s remarkable career, from his early days with the Jackson 5 through classics from Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad, the soundtrack accompanied the worldwide release of the highly successful Michael film.
Although the soundtrack has yet to receive certifications in other territories, it performed strongly on charts around the world. The album reached the Top 5 in Italy, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, while also entering the Top 20 in Australia, Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan and the United States.
The Gold award in Italy is another indication that interest in Michael Jackson’s catalog remains exceptionally strong. Combined with the continued worldwide success of the Michael biopic, the soundtrack has introduced some of Jackson’s most iconic recordings to a new generation while reminding longtime fans why his music continues to resonate across the globe.
With the film still playing in select theaters and continuing to attract audiences worldwide, additional certifications for the soundtrack could follow in the coming months.

I live all of Michael’s music because he was really telling the truth in his lyrics and he did not use foul language to get his point across. I remember when I was young and I would write his name on the wall when I came downstairs and get in trouble when my grandmother asked who write on the wall. He has always been an amazing inspiration and kind hearted and people took advantage of him. You know, GOD has the final say so and he will punish those that were deceived and lied on him, RIP to the LEGEND that GOD created from his mother’s womb. I Love you Michael and will forever cherish you, what you did in life and your accomplishments. ❤️🕊️☮️
