A rundown of Prince’s top-selling albums and songs from April 21-27.

Prince’s albums and songs have sold over 4 million copies in the U.S. since the singer's death on April 21, according to Nielsen Music.

That sum combines his sales on April 21 (239,000 albums and 1.034 million song downloads) with initial sales reports for the days of April 22-27 (496,000 albums and 2.24 million songs).

In the tracking week before his death, Prince’s music sold comparably little: just 5,000 albums and 14,000 song downloads in the week ending April 15.

Nielsen Music’s latest sales-tracking week ends on April 28, and Billboard is scheduled to report the newest official weekly sales data beginning on Sunday, May 1. The top 10 of the new Billboard 200 albums chart (dated May 14, reflecting data for the week ending April 28) is set to be revealed on May 1.
