Adele Gets Huge iTunes Bounce from Grammys Despite On Stage Disaster

Share

Things didn’t go well on stage for Adele and she consoled herself with burgers.

But this morning she can also console herself with this news: her “25” album is back at number 1 on iTunes. And three of her singles including “All I Ask”– the song that was botched on the show– are in the top 15.

On the iTunes album chart, all of the top 10 is by performers who appeared on the Grammy show– including Andra Day, Alabama Shakes, and the “Hamilton” soundtrack. “Hamilton” is in the top 10. Wonderful.

Who didn’t get a bounce? Justin Bieber. His lackluster performance on the show sends his “Purpose” album down to number 17.  Sorry!

My new fave singers from the weekend: Tori Kelly and Elle King. I wish the public could have heard Tori a the Musicares dinner. She has an earthy voice, and should be singing more R&B.
