Posted February 13, 201114 yr Is there likely to be one?? Do Grammy-winning/performing acts usually see an increase on UK iTunes??
February 13, 201114 yr The Brits will have a bigger effect than the Grammys, but if any songs/artists are successful and have news stories about them, then that will likely to give them a small boost.
February 13, 201114 yr No, the only proper Grammy effect I can remember at all in the UK was Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me" going top 3 after her several Grammy wins.
February 13, 201114 yr Wednesday Night, ITV2, 10pm. Ah right :D Might watch it, I usually don't though because I find that it goes on for HOURS.
February 13, 201114 yr Ah right :D Might watch it, I usually don't though because I find that it goes on for HOURS. Oh God, i know. :drama: Plus the add breaks...
February 13, 201114 yr I guess it would have an affect. ALL promotion can effect the chart, however small it is, but usually it's not noticeable.
February 13, 201114 yr Ah right :D Might watch it, I usually don't though because I find that it goes on for HOURS. Its definitely a show for the SKY+ so you can skip all the "best group performance of a reggae influenced country and western ballad" type awards!
February 13, 201114 yr what about a brits affect topic - we arent american you know and the brits will have a massive affect on the chart - alot of old songs will re-enter the top 40, maybe even the top 10.remember use soimebody and sex on fire re-entered the top 10 after 2009.also there may be another release like dizzee/florence which hit no2 last year!!
February 13, 201114 yr Wednesday Night, ITV2, 10pm. Thanks, i was wondering too, will watch it then. To dismiss it with 'No', isnt the right answer. It can effect the chart, especially with news coverage, and social networks such as facebook and twitter. Edited February 13, 201114 yr by Karma
February 13, 201114 yr No doubt Gaga will get 90% of the press coverage so her sales next week could be higher then expected.

The OP was asking if the Grammys might affect the charts. e.g. Have they done so in part years, etc? We KNOW for a fact that the BRITs have a large impact on the chart. Last year, for example, Empire State of Mind went back into the top 10 on iTunes, and there was Dizzee and Florence's song. I don't think there's a point in starting a thread asking whether the BRITs will have a notable impact on the charts when, firstly, we know the answer (yes), and secondly, even if you haven't followed the charts in previous years, it's easy to work out that the BRITs will impact the chart through the use of logic. It's not so easy to do this with the Grammys, because it's not the typical "show it on prime-time TV and everybody watches" type thing, which we observe all the time. It's more of a "watch it on youtube, they talk about it in the news, they show it later on some random channel which nobody watches, etc" type thing, which is much harder to predict what effect it will have.
