The 14% ratings spike was just the beginning. Now the afterburners kick in. Performers and winners are seeing sales leaps after appearing on the Feb. 8 Grammy Awards, chart fuel given greater thrust by this year's increase of 2 million viewers.
Best album Raising Sand by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, who swept five awards, enjoyed the biggest gain, selling 77,000 copies, up 715% over the week before, according to Nielson SoundScan. The duo jumps to No. 2 from No. 69.
The pair was blocked at Billboard's summit by Grammy performer Taylor Swift, whose Fearless sold 92,000 copies, a 44% increase, and climbed three notches to reclaim No. 1.
Coldplay, winner of best song for Viva La Vida, jumps to No. 8 from No. 31 with 62,000 copies, up 271%. And debut 19 by best new artist Adele rises 17 slots to No. 10 with 57,000, a 218% uptick.
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, which generated four wins, added 27,000 copies, up 34%, to his 3 million total.
While noteworthy, those figures pale against post-Grammy yields in the music industry's healthier days. In 1999, Santana's Supernatural sold 364,000 copies, eclipsed four years later by Norah Jones' Come Away With Me, which sold 621,000 copies, the biggest surge ever.
Double winners Sugarland, John Mayer, Ne-Yo and Brad Paisley saw hikes ranging from 37% to 91%.
Jennifer Hudson's You Pulled Me Through boosted her album 112%, while Radiohead's 15 Step goosed In Rainbows 130%. The Rap Pack's Kanye West, T.I. and M.I.A. also advanced, as did performers Jamie Foxx, Carrie Underwood, the Jonas Brothers, Kenny Chesney, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Estelle.
Not everyone scored. Jay-Z, who joined the Rap Pack and Coldplay, did not resurface on the chart. Nor did Al Green, despite a performance and double wins. Yet Duffy, who briefly harmonized with Green at the podium, got a 41% bump.

What are you going to do in 2009?
Thoughts By: B. Brown
It’s 2009 and it’s time for your goals and aspirations to manifest into reality!!!
Barack Obama is the 44th President and the 1st African-American President of the United States! It is an exciting time to be an American! We as Americans are embarking on a new adventure and it sure feels great!
I am personally very excited about the history that has been made with Obama leading the U.S. into a new positive direction. I am truly grateful for my parents, grand parents and the rest of the generations before me that paved the way for this great moment to take place. If you go and ask any person white or black that is over fifty (50) years old, the majority of them will tell you that they did not expect to see a black man in the White House in their lifetime. Oh, what a wonderful time it is right now!
A lot of different things have been put out there in regards to Obama being President, but the fact is that he has a tremendous appeal to people all around the world and that his appeal along with his economic and political strategies have a great chance of pulling the U.S. out of one of it’s most challenging economic downturns ever! I believe we as a nation are going to be ok in the near future.
What ever you aspire to be and whatever your goals are, there is no better time than now to actually write them down, visualize them and move forth with action to achieve your goals. Action is the key! It is just like Faith. Faith without action is dead. The time is now for each and every one of us to improve ourselves and make a difference. The time is now for us to take advantage of education and use that education to parlay ourselves into new fields of business and new opportunities. Focusing on your goals everyday and actively working towards them will allow you to have a drive and desire that can be unstoppable and that day will come when you realize that your life has changed and beautiful things are happening to you! Close your eyes for a moment … isn’t that a beautiful vision?
Your goal may be to spend more time with your family --- do it!
Your goal may be to lose weight --- do it!
Your goal may be to get a better paying job --- do it!
Whatever your goals and aspirations --- there’s no better phrase to use than Nike’s awesome slogan --- just do it!!!

Top of the Hip-Hop/R&B Heap!
By: Sonia Murray
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution; Nov. 11, 2008; E1)
Turn on the radio and Atlanta singer-rapper T-Pain is easy to find---he's the one who sounds like he's having the most fun.
Little wonder then that in real life T-Pain is every bit the funny and likable guy he appears to be on record. The 23-year-old born Faheem Najm may have taken on the stage name of T-Pain (short for Tallahassee Pain) because of his rough start in his Florida hometown, but rough is hardly the adjective one would use to describe the life these days of a Grammy winner living in a $1 million Duluth home with a Lamborghini out front.
Because T-Pain is seemingly on every other single on the radio dial, expectations are high for his third solo CD. The album is titled Thr33 Ringz in large part because T-Pain feels like a ringleader of the music industry game.
It's a little hard to deny him this claim. Kanye West is using T-Pain's signature vocoder effect (a synthesizer-type sound with the tone and tempo of the singer's voice) on his next album. He flew T-Pain to Hawaii for five days to make sure he was doing it right. Lil Wayne and Chris Brown have started to add the style to their vocals. "That's when I started to realize - like about a couple of months ago - I was really changing the game. When everybody started doing what I was doing," T-Pain says. "T-Pain's assists, period, makes records better," Ludacris affirms.
"I can't say enough about him and his talents," adds BET Sr. Vice President Stephen Hill, who asked T-Pain to host its recent Hip-Hop Awards. "He's funny, a nice guy and easy to work with."
T-Pain has broken ringtone records singing about simple things like buying a drink or being in love with a stripper. "People have been slow to give him credit for his talent," says Jive Records VP MempHitz, who signed T-Pain. "But when I first heard him, he reminded me of R. Kelly - he could sing, write, produce, the works!"
"When I was broke ... I was still trying to figure out a way to make a mixtape or something," says T-Pain, who now owns 22 automobiles. "And yeah what I make, what I've always made is some of the most regular stuff in the world. That's why people can relate. Everybody is so busy concentrating on a song, trying to be different or abstract; instead of just being a basic, beautiful picture. Ya'll are making it too easy for me to run this circus."

T.I.'s New CD Slick, Revealing
By: Sonia Murray
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution; E1-E2 Tues., Sept. 30, 2008)
Facing a year and a day of prison time, one might think that Atlanta's T.I. would do anything but begin his new album with a track titled "56 Bars." But that's the really good thing about his new album PAPER TRAIL - it is everything and nothing you would expect from the hip-hop superstar.
And by everything, yes, that means T.I. is the same charismatically slick, super-boastful, profanity-spewing T.I. who's sold millions of his previous five (5) albums. Nevermind that outside of recording studios, he's giving motivational speeches in schools and church services to fulfill 1,000 plus hours of community service, part of a guilty plea for felony weapons charges. He's due to begin serving his sentence in March 2009.
One of his singles, "Ready for Whatever," answers the question every fan had last year when the Grammy winner (and convicted felon) - on his way to the BET Hip-Hop Awards where he was the leading nominee - decided to detour to a Midtown Walgreens to buy machine guns and silencers. That question of course is why?! "If your life was in jeopardy everyday is you telling me you wouldn't need weaponry, just becaue of your felonies?" T.I. asks in "Ready." "Consider this at least - I've got everybody sweating me. On the streets is people who won't rest unles I rest in peace. Killed my folk a year ago still in my sleep they threaten me ... I'm dealing with depression from my partner dying next to me. Think cause no one's arrested they coming for me eventually. See this was all the things that I was going through mentally." In the end, "I'm wrong and I know it," T.I. adds.
And in curious, 2Pac-like fashion, he uses the subject of facing - and enduring - prison time to craft one of his best songs, "You Ain't Missin' Nothing."
B. Brown's Thoughts: Let me first say that I commend T.I. for using his time wisely when he was confined to his home for 6-months because he put together a great album that addresses everything that has gone on with him since that crazy day in October of 2007 - gun charges, Shawty-Lo, etc. To come back as strong as he has is a testament of his strength, courage and spiritual belief. God has Blessed him and Prayfully, he will continue to be a Blessing to the young people and adults he reaches as he continues to do community service.
Society is evolving everyday and we must make the proper adjustments, but one thing I believe we can't ever get away from is forgiveness and integrity. America is on the brink of a new day and when Obama wins this upcoming election next week, we can start establishing a better, more improved America for all people.
One Love!

Tyler Perry!!! Enough said!
By: B. Brown (BREG)
Tyler Perry has opened a New State-of-the-Art, Full-Service Movie Production Studio in Atlanta, GA! It is unbelievable! God is good!!! Big ups to you Mr. Perry and may God continue to Bless you! You are an inspiration to people of all ages and races.
Now, all Southeast based script writers, producers, directors, etc. have a "Studio" in close proximity to bring their vision to life. It is a beautiful situation that the Atlanta Community should embrace and help cultivate because Mr. Perry's facility alone will create new jobs and countless opportunities for rising and established stars alike.
When the studio opened, all the major players came to Atlanta, GA and now Atlanta has the opportunity to cement itself as the official third city of Entertainment behind New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA. Atlanta has been a hotbed for musical talent for a long time now, and with Mr. Perry bringing the tv & movie world to Atlanta, the future of Atlanta's entertainment community is looking very bright!
Mr. Perry has established himself with major touring plays and movies adapted from his plays all the way to his most current movie The Family that Preys. Many critics and fans alike are saying that this movie is his best work to date. That's a tremendous complement considering the success that he has had already!
I have a personal connection to The Preys movie because my brother, Ben K. Brown, plays Robin Givens husband in the movie. My brother has also been on two (2) episodes of "House of Payne", so you can see why I am very excited about the new studio and the possibilities that may arise because of the studio.
Once again, congratulations Mr. Perry and continue to strive for excellence in everything that you do!
One Love!

iTunes, is it still a great option for Artists?
By: Ethan Smith & Nick Wingfield
(The Wall Street Journal; Market Place Section, 8-29-08)
iTunes has been the runaway hit of the music business, selling more than five billion song downloads since it started five years ago. But a growing number of record companies are trying to steer clear of Apple Inc.'s behemoth music store, because they say selling single songs on iTunes in some cases is crimping overall music sales.
Kid Rock's Rock 'n Roll Jesus album was kept off iTunes' virtual shelves. It has nonetheless sold 1.7 million copies in the U.S. since its release last year---a sizable number for the depressed music industry. Sales of the album have increased in 19 of the past 22 weeks, according to Nielsen SoundScan, vaulting it to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 sales chart. After witnessing the album's performance, his label, Warner Music Group Corp.'s Atlantic Records, last week yanked an album by R&B singer Estelle from the iTunes Store, four months after it went on sale there---and the same week that one of its songs entered the top-10-selling tracks on Apple's download service.
... there is growing discomfort with the dominant role iTunes already plays: The store sells 90% or more of digital downloads in the U.S., surpassing Wal-Mart Store Inc., according to research firm NPD Group Inc.
Label Executives, managers and artists chafe against the iTunes policy that prevents them from selling an album only. iTunes, with few exceptions, requires that songs be made available separately. Consumers strongly prefer that, though Apple also typically offers a special price for buyers who purchase all the songs on an album.
Some artists see their albums as one piece of work, and don't want them dismantled. Their handlers believe they can make more by selling complete albums for $10 to $15.00 than by selling individual songs.
Irving Azoff (manager of the Eagles) says, "I'm underwhelmed by the number of sales I see on iTunes for the classic bands."
That sentiment was a factor in the Eagles' decision to sell their latest album, Long Road Out of Eden, only through Wal-Mart.
Shunning iTunescarries risks for the labels. Not only is it the biggest force in music sales, but keeping songs off the service could prompt listeners to look for illegal downloads instead. In addition, customers have demonstrated a clear preference for buying singles instead of entire albums. Only in few cases have record labels been able to boost album sales over those of individual songs.
Kid Rock's manager, Mr. Levitan, points out that if his client's album were sold the way iTunes wants, many of his 1.6 million U.S. album sales to date would instead have shown up as 99-cent downloads of the hit single "All Summer Long."
A Warner Music Group Spokesman, Will Tanous, calls removal of certain music from iTunes like Estelle's "American Boy" is a part of a broad range of digital-release strategies "uniquely tailored to each artist and their fan base in an effort to optimize revenues and promote long-term artist development.
In other cases, Mr. Tanous added, Warner has made songs or albums available exclusively on iTunes for certain periods, if that seemed a promising approach.
Since the beginning of 2006, only the Beatles have sold more "catalog" albums in the U.S. that AC/DC---also without licensing their music to iTunes. Among the six best-selling catalog artists during that period, the act that sold the most individual songs digitally--The Rolling Stones--sold the fewest albums, digital or physical. That is important because while the Stones' six million single tracks sold may seem impressive, they represent low-cost, low-profit transactions. Album sales, on the other hand, are much more profitable.

Southwest Georgia Radio & Music Conference
By: B. Brown (BREG)
http://www.breg1994.com/
It's amazing how when an individual and/or a group of individuals come together for the same cause and truly want something to be a success, positive results will occur!
Let me start with saying congratulations to Solo and his entire GA - Entertainment.com http://www.ga-entertainment.com/ Team! They did it again!

A group of Job Corps students from the Southwest Georgia area came. It was a great atmosphere!
Big up's to several Artists that caught my attention during the Artist Showcase Saturday Night - Mayne Lyne (Pronounced Main Line), KJ Hines & another young man (I apologize, I have forgotten his name, but he is 17 yrs. old and he performed first. He's from Florida.) They rocked the show!
Now I have to say what's up to JaWar (Music Industry Connection), DJ Judgemental (Dirt Law Radio, Radio Mix-Show DJ & Official Drift City Records DJ) & Doug Davis (Cumulus Broadcasting)! As Guest Speakers, we were given the freedom to deliver positive, practical, powerful & essential information to the Conference Attendees and the informational theme on How to Make Money Online was received with open arms!
