BuzzAngle Music monitors who is selling what on a daily basis throughout the chart week. These figures are from the US Billboard charts as of Tuesday night (the most recent available), less than 48 hours after we heard about the death of David Bowie.

Bowie has never had a #1 album in America–and he’s certainly never had three albums in the Top 10 before.

1	Blackstar	David Bowie	129,820
