Following the death of founding member Brian Wilson on June 11, the legendary band’s music catalog saw a massive 184% surge in U.S. equivalent album units for the week ending June 12 — climbing to 31,000 units, according to Billboard.
But that wasn’t the only album gaining traction. Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys, released in 2003, jumped from No. 180 to No. 52 on the same chart.
The Beach Boys, formed in 1961, originally consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis and CarlWilson, their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine. Together, they became one of the most influential bands in music history, pioneering the surf rock genre.
“The first thing he did is he looked at me, right in my eyes. He said, ‘You started the band,’” Jardine recalled. “I said, ‘Okay, well Brian, thank you, but you had a little bit to do with it too.’”
“The band would get together and sing for him. He wouldn’t participate, but the idea was to keep him involved,” Jardine said. “It was really cool. He was having difficulties, but he seemed to be recovering. So [his death] has been quite a shock.”
