Following in the series of announcements, it was only earlier today that we announced 'She's Trouble' being the next track to feature on the 40th anniversary edition of Thriller. Now, some fans have worked out how to manipulate the image location on Sonys' image host to find out next weeks likely announcement.

For instance,

'Behind The Mask' was posted on the MJ official website under the image url -

'She's Trouble' was posted on the MJ official website under the image url -

Fans have now 'reverse engineered' the url for the next announcement, 'The Toy' by changing the dates -

The orange bolded text/numbers show what has been changed to accomplish this discovery. The image linked becomes -

Whilst this is not a definitive announcement of 'The Toy' - It is highly likely to be the case given the above.
