Rapper-producer Akon is riding huge this week, with his ‘Konvicted’ album entering the charts at No. 2. The burgeoning superstar says he’ll be aiming even higher next year.

At the American Music Awards, Akon, who’s worked with everybody from Gwen Stefani to the Fugees, said Michael Jackson is next on his wish list. “My goal for 2007 is to complete something on Michael Jackson,” he said. “That’s the goal. We’re almost there,” he added, laughing.
