Been thinking about this since dear Dolly and the fact that 9 to 5 is finally a proper hit in chart terms.

So far I've got Glitter and Morrissey.
 
Maybe Cliff? His audience is older and more likely to whip out the Greatest Hits LP they bought in Makro for £2.99 in 1982.
 
STREAM WIRED FOR SOUND, OUT NOW

And I imagine Morrissey's descent into the afterlife will cause a significant streaming bump for The Smiths.

I also imagine non singing members of famous bands wouldn’t have all that much impact. When Charlie Watts died, it didn’t significantly bump numbers for The Rolling Stones. I don’t even think Jackson 5 numbers went up by much when Tito died.

Otis Williams is also the last surviving Temptation. Since the rest of them popped off decades ago, I can’t imagine it’ll give the catalogue a boost.

omg poor Lance Bass!
 
It would be to my great sadness if Mariah didn't get a big bump

I wonder who could compete with Dolly on this front - I certainly wouldn't have expected it - but it's almost MJ levels
