Subject: George Michael heading for posthumous number one

Written By: Philip Eno on 10/24/17 at 6:57 am

George Michael is on course to top the UK album chart this Friday, 10 months after his death. Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 spent a week at number one when it was originally released in 1990. It has now been reissued with a bonus disc including the singer's 1996 MTV Unplugged session. It leads this week's album chart race, outselling Niall Horan's solo debut by almost 25,000 copies after three days, the Official Charts Company said.

I suppose this is because Michael’s primary fanbase is much more the album-purchasing type than Niall Horan’s, which prefers streaming?

Yes it is all down to CD sales, with a larger fanbase.
