SALES of Michael Jackson CDs increased 80-fold the day after the singer died, say retailers HMV.
On Friday the store sold 30,000 Jackson albums - the single biggest one-day lift in an artist's sales the company has ever seen.

John Carhard, manager of HMV on Princes Street, said: "Initially we had plenty of stock but by Saturday it was mostly sold out."

I expect there will have been fans, who already owned the CDs in question, buying multiple copies of the same disc purely to push up sales and get things in the charts. I've seen that happening with several singles in the past.
