"Number Ones" had already sold 1,825,000 copies in the US the week Jackson died. Following Jackson's death on June 25, the album sold 108,000 units in the US on the chart week ending July 1, 2009 and was the biggest-selling album of the week, though only one quarter of Jackson's entire US album sales recorded that week, shifting just under 425,000 albums and 2.6 million digital singles (more than 50 times of all the combined digital single sales of the previous week and making Jackson the first artist to sell more than one million downloads in one week). The following week it remained the biggest selling album shifting its largest one-week sales since being release in 2003 with 350,000 copies sold, as Jackson's overall album sales tally swelled to 1.1 million for the week. "Number Ones" was 2009's third biggest-selling album according to SoundScan, behind Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" and Taylor Swift's "Fearless". Although the best selling album for three weeks in a row, the record was not allowed to chart on the "Billboard" 200 due to (now defunct) rules, but entered the Comprehensive Chart at number 1 where it remained for six weeks. "Number Ones" was the best-selling album in the United States for six consecutive weeks amassing sales of 2.36 million by the end of 2009. The "Billboard" Catalog chart also allowed "Number Ones" to chart, where it led Jackson in occupying the entire top 12 positions on the chart. "Number Ones" has topped Top Catalog Albums Chart several times; most recently for three consecutive weeks in May and June 2014. As of July 29, 2016, the album has sold over 5,300,000 million copies in the US.
