The singer died at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last week.
The band's 2013 album, Midnight Memories, which contains hit songs like Best Song Ever and Story Of My Life, returns at number 13 on the UK albums chart, while their last album, Made In The AM (2015) has landed at 21, according to the Official Charts Company.
At 22 is the band's 2014 album Four. Take Me Home (2012), is at 25, and their 2011 debut album Up All Night, at 38.
Two One Direction songs have re-entered the top 10 with Night Changes reaching a new peak on the singles chart at number six and Story Of My Life re-entering at number nine.
Payne's 2019 solo album LP1 returns to the top 100 at 62.

In an Instagram post on Friday, the former Pussycat Doll posted a photo of her, Payne and Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland. The trio had been filming this summer for a new Netflix show called Building The Band, on which they were all judges.
"Dear Liam, I will forever cherish and treasure the time we shared together, from 15 years ago when One Direction was born, right up until just a few weeks ago," Scherzinger wrote.
