Grammy's fuel big sales spikes for Country artists.

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to hear that winning a GRAMMY is about more than just taking home a trophy. Each year, artists who win, or even just perform, tend to see an increase in record sales, and that certainly goes for this year.  Chris Stapleton’s album Traveller is up 58%.  Sam Hunt’s performance with Carrie Underwood helped increase sales of his debut album Montevallo by 59%.  Carrie Underwood’s Storyteller album sales are up 46%, but the song she performed with Sam…”Heartbeat”…saw a 133% increase in downloads.  But listen to this…Little Big Town’s performance of “Girl Crush” translated into a 787% increase, putting the song at number one on the Country Digital Songs chart.  Plus their album Pain Killer saw a sales increase of 220%.
