Michael Jackson's greatest hits album Number Ones has shot straight to the top of the album chart following the star's death on Thursday.

Another four of his albums, including Thriller and Off The Wall, are in the top 20 and there are 20 Jackson singles in the top 75.

Man in the Mirror charted the highest at 11, according to the Official Charts Company.

In total, Michael Jackson accounts for over 300,000 record sales (across singles and albums) in just two days this week.

The new number one in the Official UK Singles Chart is La Roux's Bulletproof, which follows the band's breakthrough single In For The Kill.
