As expected, the death of Whitney Houston has seen a huge surge in the late singer’s sales. 

Since the legendary diva died on Saturday, her singles and albums have accumulated over 1 million albums and singles sold.

Last week Whitney’s Whitney: The Greatest Hits re-entered the Billboard 200 at number six, selling 64,000 copies. That number is a 10,419 percent gain over the pervious week, when the album moved under 1,000 copies. The sales numbers of 64,000 only represents one days worth of sales because the week ended on Sunday, February 12, one day after Whitney died.

Other big selling albums since the singer died include her 1986 self-titled debut album, The Bodyguard soundtrack and Whitney’s last studio album, I Look to You. The total amount equaled to over 100,000 in sales for the week.

Then there were the singles. 

There were 887,000 digital copies of Whitney’s singles sold throughout the week. Her biggest selling single was “I Will Always Love You,” which moved 195,000 units.

It was just an all-around phenomenal amount of sales as fans remember the late, great legend.
