Although Jimmy Buffet died in September of last year, that hasn’t stopped him from finding his way back onto the Billboard album charts. Making its debut at number 22 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart this week is Songs You Know By Heart: Jimmy Buffett’s Greatest Hits. The album, which previously hit number 2, has now spent a total of 88 weeks on the charts, according to Billboard. It’s unclear what prompted the album’s sudden surge in popularity.
