26 June 2009 23:01 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Michael Jackson could become the first artist to take all 10 top slots in the UK top 40 chart, when the new chart results are announced on Sunday.

Following the death of the "King of Pop" on Thursday, music fans around the globe have been heading online to buy copies of the artists music in droves, forcing the superstar artist to command virtually all the top spots on both Amazon.co.uk and Apple's iTunes music store charts.

In iTunes, Jackson has taken the top 8 spots in the album chart with the 2003 release Number Ones commanding the top spot. Other albums in the chart include King of Pop (Deluxe Version), Thriller, Bad, Off the Wall (Special Edition), The Essential Michael Jackson, King of Pop, and Dangerous.

Meanwhile over at Amazon.co.uk, its top music chart is tracking 16 albums from MJ in its top 20 with its customers voting Off the Wall (Special Edition) as the album of choice to remember the artist by.

  • really a sad news but we always remember him as a king of pop. Posted by hampshire, india
  • To all the young people and people who came late to the party, Michael Jackson was a great entertainer, if not the GOAT.

    His voice, music, stage presence, and awareness of his audience will definitely be hard to duplicate.

  • A massively over hyped prediction about Jackson taking ALL top ten slots in the UK singles chart......in fact NONE of Jackson's singles made it into top ten (The highest was Man in the Mirror at no.11).

    Today (5 July 09) when the new UK singles chart is announced only sees 2 Jackson singles in the top ten with "man in the mirror" moving up to no.2 and "Billie Jean" at no.10.

    Whoever these "so called" music experts that predicted this top ten domination by Jackson clearly don't really know too much about their own industry.....kinda like the failed bankers I guess!
