Not so surprisingly, David Bowie albums have been selling quite well since his death on Jan. 10. But was anyone expecting this? According to NME, Bowie LPs account for nearly one-fifth of the current Top 100: A staggering 19 albums are on the just-released chart.
Blackstar, his final album – which was issued just a week ago and two days before his death of cancer – checks in at No. 1. Meanwhile, classic LPs Hunky Dory (No. 14), The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (No. 17), Aladdin Sane (No. 23), Low (No. 31) and Station to Station (No. 55) all secured spots, while the compilations Nothing Has Changed, The Best of 1969/1974, Best of Bowie and The Best of 1980/1987, as well as the Five Years box set, also made the Top 100.
Additionally, Bowie also fares well on the new singles chart, logging 13 songs that range from 1969’s “Space Oddity” (at No. 24) to the new “Lazarus” (No. 45). “Heroes,” from 1978, comes in at the highest position with a No. 12 showing.
