I think that case would be covered by this:

(under Category 4 rules) On rare occasion, staff may submit certain Category 2 and Category 3 eligible albums here.
Though this is reserved for special cases. Michael Jackson is a game music composer (in the sense that he has at least one credit for composing BGM in a game), but we ave no plans to include his full discography here. The category 4 restriction is what prevents someone from submitting those albums.
