Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week has propelled his books, podcasts and songs to the top of the charts.
Kirk’s radio show and podcast, “The Charlie Kirk Show,” is No. 1 on Apple Music’s podcast chart. It topped Spotify’s top trending podcasts chart on Monday but currently sits at No. 12.
The co-founder of Turning Point USA was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. He was hit by a single rifle round fired from a rooftop roughly 200 yards away, sending 3,000 attendees scrambling for cover. Security rushed him to a hospital, where he later died.
Kirk’s books top Amazon
Kirk’s upcoming book, “Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life,” currently ranks No. 1 on Amazon’s book sales chart.
The book, which comes out in December, is described as Kirk’s reflection on his faith, according to Forbes.

Another book, “The College Scam,” published in 2022 by Kirk, alleges university students are being “indoctrinated” by “far-left professors,” ranks No. 10 on Amazon’s book chart.
The No. 1 song on U.S. iTunes as of Friday is a song by the artist named Diesel, who wrote a tribute to the late conservative activist called “How Dare They.” Right-wing rapper Tom MacDonald comes in at No. 2 with his song called “Charlie.”
Other conservative podcasters have seen large viewership covering Kirk’s killing, including Ben Shapiro, Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens.
