Sinéad O’Connor is on track to return to the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart this week following her death.
The Irish star passed away last week at the age of 56, her family confirmed, with authorities confirming her death is not being treated as suspicious.
Since then, several of her classic releases have rocketed up the iTunes chart and in a first look at this week’s main rundown, her classic hit Nothing Compares 2 U is sitting outside of the Top 10.
According to data from OfficialCharts, O’Connor’s classic Prince cover is currently at No. 12 and looks certain to remain in the Top 40.
Throughout her career, the singer-songwriter released 10 studio albums including the global No. 1, ‘I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got’ (1990), and also scored hits like The Emperor’s New Clothes, Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home and Mandinka.
In 1991, she won the BRIT Award for International Female Solo Artist and was nominated for four Grammys, of which she won Best Alternative Music Performance for her seminal second album.
The previous year, Billboard named the Prince-penned Nothing Compares 2 U the No.1 World Single.
At the time of her death, the musician was believed to be spending her time between Co Roscommon, Ireland, and London. She is survived by her three children. Her son, Shane, died last year aged 17.
