As expected, sales and streams from Aretha Franklin’s music catalog have taken off in the days following her death on Aug. 16.
According to BuzzAngle Music, her song streams zoomed 1,452% on the day of her death to just over 26 million total, while her album sales climbed 1,362% on the day of her death to just over 21,000 — a solid figure in the age of streaming, notes Variety.
From the survey’s Thursday through Sunday time period, she was the top-selling artist with more than 45,000 total album sales, and the fourth most-streamed artist with 57 million song streams.
The top-streamed song was her Otis Redding-penned 1968 hit “Respect,” with 4,987,752 streams. “I Say a Little Prayer,” from the same year, came in second with 4,076,003 streams.
The top-selling album was the near-definitive 1985 collection of hits from her long stint with Atlantic Records, “30 Greatest Hits,” with 22,251 units sold in those four days.
