Star to top charts again

AT Amoeba Records on LA’s Sunset Boulevard, a run on Michael Jackson’s back catalogue has led to a frantic search to replenish stocks.

Within an hour of the death being announced the singer’s section at the large record shop was empty, forcing staff to head to the warehouse to search for the odd copy of Thriller that might be hidden away.

But last night they were still struggling to keep up with demand and eagerly awaiting a big shipment today of Jackson albums.
