The news of pop icon Michael Jackson's death Thursday has yet to wear off for many of us.

So in the hours since his death, the "King Of Pop" has seen renewed interest... both on radio and in the record stores here in Bowling Green.

"Today we've been bombarded with requests. We're playing a lot more Michael Jackson than we normally do," says "Drive-Time" Disc Jockey Chris Kelly.

"Michael Jackson was the first album that they bought. Michael was the first concert that they went to. Michael was the first superstar that they absolutely fell in love with. He's our Elvis," agrees Brooke Summers, WUHU Program Director and DJ.

Kelly was on the air Thursday when Jackson died.

"We took some calls yesterday afternoon from listeners to hear reactions and get some of their memories of Michael Jackson," says Kelly.

"You know, I thought that everyone would request "Thriller" but it seems most people are requesting "Smooth Criminal" and "Bad" have been the two songs people really want to hear," notes Summers.

Over at "FYE" music store, Jackson's music catalog flew off the shelves.

"Within two hours where we had lots of stock, we have no "Michael" CDs from his oldest to his newest hits," says Sales Associate Jonathan Bucy.

So the retail outlet is trying to replenish its supply quickly.

"We have contacted our District Manager. Stores throughout our region are seeing the same thing happen. So they are going to try to get in the warehouse and get us a drop-off shipment tomorrow so we actually have things to sell," adds Bucy.

Kelly says by putting Jackson back on the radio... its a form of therapy for "The Gloved One's" mourning fans.

"They really want to focus on the Michael they remember best when they were growing up, the "Moonwalking" and "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" and "Thriller" and we're just trying to help the listeners do that by playing some of those songs for them this weekend," says Kelly.

Jackson's tragic death also caused an Internet sensation like nothing ever seen before.

Thursday alone, several websites such as TMZ.com, Google, and Twitter experienced overloads and had to temporarily shut down because of the amount of traffic surrounding Jackson.
