The set, which was released through ISO/Columbia Records on Jan. 8 (Bowie's 69th birthday), could sell perhaps 130,000 albums in the week ending Jan. 14, according to industry forecasters, and debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated Jan. 30. Bowie died on Jan. 10 after an 18-month battle with cancer.
It appears that David Bowie will be the first artist to unseat Adele from her perch atop the sales charts, albeit posthumously. Bowie's final album, Blackstar (Columbia), looks set to do more than 160k in its first week, as the rock icon's death drives a giant wave of consumer interest. Stay tuned for updated sales forecasts.
