Published: Thursday 16th Aug 2018 by Rashad

The Queen reigns again.

Following this morning’s announcement of the passing of Aretha Franklin (click here to read), the outpouring of grief has seen fans open their hearts and wallets – a move that sees the music monarch’s biggest hits dominate the current iTunes sales charts.

Pushing the likes of Drake‘s megahit ‘In My Feelings,’ Cardi B‘s ‘I Like It,’ and more of the day’s top hits aside, Franklin’s most memorable numbers – ‘Respect,’ ‘(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman,’ and ‘Chain of Fools’ are just a few of the titles that are topping the tally (as of time reported).
