List of posthumous number ones on the UK Albums Chart

(

• ... that Amy Winehouse (pictured) achieved a posthumous number one on the UK Albums Chart after her death in 2011 caused sales of her albums to increase 37 times over?

• Reviewed: Port of Split
• Comment: That may not be the most eloquent way of expressing this particular hook. Basically, Winehouse's death caused sales of her album to increase 37 times over, which in turn caused her to have a posthumous number one. I welcome any ways that this hook could be improved.

All looks good to me. One of those articles that I thought would have already existed, so a nice find and a great piece of work. Possible alternative hooks...

• ALT1: ... that Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, was a posthumous number one in the UK?
• ALT2: ... that Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Amy Winehouse have all had posthumous number ones albums in the UK?
• ALT3: ... that Elvis Presley and Eva Cassidy have both had three posthumous number ones albums in the UK?

Personally I'm liking ALT2 the most. violet/riga _^[talk] 21:47, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd be fine with any of those alternatives. Thanks a lot for the review! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 00:02, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
