That was very classy of Sony. Within hours of the death of Whitney Houston her label almost doubled the price of albums like The Ultimate Collection to take advantage of the expected rise in sales:
The music giant is understood to have lifted the wholesale price of Houston’s greatest hits album, The Ultimate Collection, at about 4am California time on Sunday.
This meant that the iTunes retail price of the album automatically increased from £4.99 to £7.99. Houston’s The Ultimate Collection, originally released in 1997, was the second top-selling album on iTunes on Monday morning. Apple returned the album to its original price late on Sunday.

Well everyone is in on it. Wait for the label or/and the family to bring out forgotten old songs and remixed old records.
