Five months after his death, Michael Jackson is still a chart-topper.
The singer's This Is It concert documentary and album of the same name have both reached No. 1 in the U.S. and in 16 countries worldwide, according to ratings reports released Wednesday.
Directed by Jackson's tour choreographer, Kenny Ortega, the concert documentary -- which was released Oct. 28 -- made movie history as the highest-grossing concert film of all time, besting Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana: The Movie. Its companion album now tops Billboard's Top 200 charts as well as the Soundtrack album chart.
Check out photos from the This Is It movie.
The disc, featuring Jackson's last recorded single, is expected to top album charts in Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Turkey, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the Middle East and Colombia. It will likely rank in the top three on charts in the U.K., Australia, Argentina, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland and Spain.

Jackson is the first artist since the Rolling Stones in 1971 to have a No. 1 documentary and album on the charts at the same time.
He died June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Holmby Hills, Calif., home.
