Bowie Sales Frenzy as Death Sends 4 Singles into iTunes Top 10, 6 to Top 10 Amazon Albums

Share

David Bowie’s death has sparked a sales frenzy on his albums and singles.

Four of the singles– Space Oddity, Changes, Let’s Dance, and Under Pressure (with Queen) take up spots on the iTunes singles charts.

But it’s amazon where things are really crazy. On their digital chart, Bowie has four of the top five albums. (Adele is the exception.) Twelve of the albums from number 6 to 20 on the digital chart are his.

On the amazon chart for CDs and vinyl, Bowie has 9 of the top 20 spots. He has seven more from number 21 to 30.

It’s a lovely tribute to a great artist.
