From the Daily Mail just today I think - and soon-to-be-followed-up by other media outlets.

Michael Jackson's entire back catalogue has been stolen by internet hackers. Sony music suffered its second major security breach in a year, with thieves targeting songs and unreleased material by the superstar singer.

It's alleged they downloaded more than 50,000 music files, worth £160million, in the biggest ever cyber attack on a music company. The hack has compromised the work of other artists managed by the firm, including songs by Jimi Hendrix, Paul Simon, Olly Murs, the Foo Fighters and Avril Lavigne.

In other words, if you start seeing new songs leaking, guess where they come from.

I'm really not complaining. We're potentially getting new Jackson songs, not bad at all.

Even though some of the already-leaked songs are pretty good (some of the Dangerous era), it's 50000 songs from their servers - stuff that's never been heard before.

It just shows how poor the security on their servers really is. First the Playstation breach now this...

That will include loads of live stuff too, which will be nice.

I'm waiting more so to hear good Hendrix stuff come from it - especially some long-needed untouched live recordings from the festivals. I wouldn't bother with Michael's live stuff after Bad, 'cos most of it was lip-synced.

That said, might get some songs from the 2001 - 2009 era. Not really into hearing any more Off The Wall / Thriller demos, already had the demos leak last year and that was enough.

Yeah, it will be a lot of the songs he was probably thinking of releasing between Invincible and his death.

Like the last song supposedly ever recorded?

There's a lot more stuff prior to 2009 than that. Edited 'cos the last ones were terrible sound. But this is beautiful.

That song is actually alright, although it reminds me of Scream a little.

It's a nice little song. That's about it - I thought something like Another Day had more of a Scream feel to it than Best of Joy. Which I thought when hearing about the posthumous pile of crap, Best of Joy was gonna suck bad. Nope, one of the best tracks on it.

And I never got into Invincible.

I've never listened to Invincible.

It's lame. Try Blood on the Dance Floor, History or Dangerous.

I've listened to History and Dangerous, and of course Thriller, Off The Wall and Bad. Some great albums they are.

Never listened to Blood on the Dance Floor, isn't that a remix album?
