Grammys Pump Sales For Herbie, Amy, Gospel
Despite the low ratings and a litany of performances of music recorded long before 2007, the Grammy Awards will provide significant boosts for several telecast performers and winners.
Album of the year winner, Herbie Hancock's "River: The Joni Letters," is expected to rise about 150 slots into the 10. Amy Winehouse, who won five trophies and whose performance in London was shown via satellite, is looking at a return to the top five. Winehouse's "Back to Black" has also benefited from an advertised Best Buy sale price of $7.99.
Alicia Keys' "As I Am," the annual Grammy nominees disc, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss' "Raising Sand," the Wow Gospel compilation, Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" and Foo Fighters' "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace" are all experiencing considerable Grammy-related upticks.
Jack Johnson's "Brushfire" is expected to hold on to No. 1 for a second week though the 25th anniversary CD-DVD package of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is selling extraordinarily well.
Having Valentine's day in the same sales week appears to have assisted the Eagles and Garth Brooks.
