David Bowie has 19 records and 13 singles in the UK Top 100, including latest LP Blackstar straight into the top spot.

This includes six Top 20 albums and three Top 20 singles.

Blackstar, released on 8 January - Bowie's 69th birthday - was already on course for the number on spot prior to his passing on 10 January following an 18-month battle with cancer.

His representatives released a statement on Facebook:

As the nation mourns the sad passing of David Bowie this week, the star’s continued impact on music shows as he dominates this week’s Official Chart.

Bowie’s new album Blackstar debuts at Number 1 with combined sales of almost 150,000, giving him his tenth chart-topping record and the fastest selling album of the year so far.

Importantly, Blackstar was already headed for Number 1 before news of Bowie’s death broke; early sales flashes last weekend revealed the record was head and shoulders above the competition.
