TVC E. The music of Prince soared to the top of the weekly U.S. Billboard 200 album chart on Monday after the singer’s sudden death last week, as mourning fans rushed to remember the artist’s legacy through his music.
Nielsen Music said Monday it had tracked 2.3 million song sales and more than
579,000 albums sales from Prince’s catalog in the three days following the news of his unexpected death at age 57 at his Minnesota estate last Thursday.
The music icon’s 1984 album “Purple Rain” sold 69,000 and his 1993 box-set “The Hits/The B-Sides” sold 41,000 units in just 3 days.
