Twain pips Petty to No.1

ROCKER Tom Petty has shot into the top of the US album sales chart after his sudden death at age 66.

Petty’s 1993 Greatest Hits compilation was in second place on the Billboard chart for the week, with sales jumping 2231 per cent from a week earlier.

But he was pipped by Canadian country star Shania Twain, whose first album in 15 years, Now, debuted at No.1.
