The recording artist died of an overdose of the anesthetic drug propofol June 25, 2009. Jackson's personal physician is awaiting trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge in connection with the singer's death.
Billboard said sales of Jackson's albums, a lucrative new record deal with Sony Music and the release of the Jackson concert film "This is It" has helped put an estimated $1 billion in the coffers of the recording artist's estate since last June.
