Congrats to him.

It makes me sad that so often, famous or not, people die not receiving as much love as they do after words - or not knowing the achievements their work will rise to in the future.

Who was the last person to score two albums in the top five simultaneously?

I think it was Adele with "21" and "19":

EDIT: Whitney did it too 2 weeks later after her death with her Greatest Hits and The Bodyguard Soundtrack:

Glad Bowie is getting the #1
Sad that he won't be around for it, but it's great to see him being honored properly.

[B-Luke]

I listened and it's a very solid work. Some of it felt a bit haunting after his death. I hope he gets the #1, he deserves it.

[Mike91]

Happy for Bowie, but I fear Bieber's streaming could **** everyone over.

[blackbeatxx]

of course Bowie will be #1

hmm i dont think 25 will do 120k

These daily updates are a new thing? Or is it just because of David Bowie?

He's doing amazing btw. What are his other debut weeks like? I guess he didn't get massive first week sales since he doesn't have a #1 album. Does anybody know?
