Following his untimely passing on Christmas Day, the music of George Michael has surged back onto both the ARIA Albums and Singles charts.
Though top spot on the Albums list was taken out by Michael Buble's Christmas LP (which dethroned John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John's Friends For Christmas and pushed it back to #2), Michael's 2006 compilation Twenty Five re-entered the top 20 to chart at #11.
Other LP's from the UK icon that also charted this week includes 1998 compilation, Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best Of George Michael (#14), his 1987 debut album Faith (#53) and 2014 compilation Symphonica (#83).
Wham!'s 1986 compilation LP, The Final, also re-entered the chart to place at #80.
The Singles chart also features a string of Michael's hits, though Clean Bandit's Rockabye has managed to retain the #1 position.
Michael's Faith came in at #50, Careless Whisper at #64, Freedom! at #75 and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, featuring Elton John, at #93.
Wham! favourites Last Christmas and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go have also charted at #23 and #88 respectively.
