Adele's album 21 has set a record for the largest post-Grammy sales bump ever, racking up 730,000 albums sold in the week following the awards show telecast, according to Nielsen Soundscan. But she's not the only one who reaped great rewards from exposure on the show.
Despite six nods, Bruno Mars didn't win any Grammys, but his show-stopping performance of "Runaway Baby" on the telecast led to a 133 percent sales increase for his album Doo-Wops & Hooligans -- it went from #30 to #8 on the Billboard chart. Lady Antebellum , who did win, saw their album Own the Night move from #17 to #9.
The late Whitney Houston was saluted at the Grammys a day after her death by Jennifer Hudson , LL Cool J and others, and her Greatest Hits album rose to #2 from #6; six other Whitney albums are also in the Billboard Top 200 chart this week.
Here's a look at some of the other sales increases from Grammy winners and performers on this week's chart:
Coldplay 's Mylo Xyloto: 26%, #14 to #11
Rihanna 's Talk that Talk: 11%, #18 to #17
The Band Perry 's self-titled album: 22%, #24 to #19
Foo Fighters ' Wasting Light: 134%, #59 to #21
Taylor Swift 's Speak Now : 60%, #42 to #25
Best New Artist winner Bon Iver 's self-titled album: 61%, #49 to #29
