IWALY will most likely go #1. MJ had 8 of the top 10, I think Whitney could do the same. I am not sure this will have the same impact as Michael Jackson Not saying it won't be big though

I am not sure this will have the same impact as Michael Jackson Not saying it won't be big though I'm turning the radio on right now and Whitney is on every Pop, Urban, Adult Contemporary, UAC, and HAC station. The only other time in my memory when this happened was Michael Jackson's death. If it weren't for the fact that a bunch of Grammy winners will also see huge sales surges, I'd say about half of the Top 20 would belong to Whitney's hits this week.

Unlike Michael Jackson, the broadcast networks aren't covering this, just CNN.
IWALY is destined to hit the top of iTunes, no doubt.

Why are we comparing the two exactly? Is there a point?
I wish Michael were still with us, and I wish Whitney was too. Let Whitney have her moment of remembrance. This isn't a morbid publicity contest.

^Just noting how another big pop star's passing impacted the charts. MJ passed on a Friday, so his showing on Digital Songs reflected two full days and some of Friday. In the top 75, he (solo, Jackson 5 and USA For Africa) had entries at Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 23, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 37, 48, 50, 51, 62, 70, 72 and 75. He had a bunch of others in the 76-200 range, as well.

3. I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
Kelly & Fun have a huge lead, so I'd expect to hit #1 in the morning.

It's too bad iTunes does not have the "Whitney" album available (Amazon does), so people can't buy original IWDWS. I'm sure that song would be much higher if original was available.

The Whitney album is on iTunes now. It's been available for a few hours now. Im willing to bet the original 'I Wanna Dance...' is about to shoot up the chart today!

The original "I Wanna Dance..." is at 61, with the remix at 14- wonder if the latter will drop down.

Yah- looks like everything except WH tracks have taken a sharp hit in pop bars. But, that's because "I Will Always Love You" currently is selling as much as it is (understandably).

If Whitney stays at #1 on iTunes until Wednesday or Thursday, then the #1 on Digital Songs should be her's.

I'm surprised to see the remixed "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" ahead of the hit album version.
