MICHAEL JACKSON’s new album will only he released on the internet, according to his studio collaborator WILL.I.AM.

THE BLACK EYED PEAS rapper insists THRILLER icon Jackson is still such a huge star, he will top the charts on the strength of download sales alone.

The 31-year-old says, “Michael is the one act who doesn’t need a record label – he can do it all through social networking sites.”

And Will.I.Am is confident Jackson’s record will be a hit because he hasn’t lost any of his musical talents during his break from the industry.

He says, “We sat there in Ireland writing strong melodies that are gonna affect people emotionally and rhythms that are gonna make people dance.”
