Michael Jackson’s albums have soared to the top of Amazon’s best-selling list just hours after his death.

Online retailer Amazon.com has revealed that their No.1 best-selling album was the 25th anniversary reissue of his Thriller album.

Three other versions of Thriller came in at 12, 13, and 14. Jackson’s 2001 alum Invincible, his last studio album, came in at 10 and other albums in the list were compilations of his hits and his tracks with the Jackson 5.

In a statement Sony Corp Chairman, CEO and President Sir Howard Stringer said: “His artistry and magnetism changed the music landscape forever. We have been profoundly affected by his originality, creativity and amazing body of work.”

It is thought that Jackson, 50, died of a heart attack but the cause of death has not been confirmed.
