If Bey hadn't released, Prince would have had the top 5 best-selling albums and top 3 albums (sales+streaming) of the week! When was the last time that happened, if ever?

I think part of what helped MJ is that memorial service that was aired. Is there one happening for Prince? In Prince's trademark secretive form, his family had a private funeral that weekend and the public didn't even know about it until after it was over. So I doubt there will be another memorial service for the public, but I expect there will be at least three or four tributes for him later in the year (Billboard Awards, BET Awards, VMAs, and AMAs, and of course the Grammys will likely do something in 2017). Devil Marlena Nylund regarding your question I am pretty sure it's never happened. The only way I think it could happen is the current situation, the unfortunate passing away of a legend which leads to a boost in catalog sales. But MJ probably would have done it if the rules at the time had allowed catalog albums to chart on the 200.
