With a Bullet: Today's Charts
- Posted on Feb 20th 2008 6:00PM by Beville Darden
Never underestimate the power of the Grammy. It's a gift that certainly keeps giving for Herbie Hancock. The jazz legend's upset win for Album of the Year has resulted in a whopping 967% increase in sales of 'River: The Joni Letters.' It also gives him his highest placement ever on the Billboard charts, at No. 5.Grammy's biggest winner this year, Amy Winehouse, is also seeing more green after her five wins. Sales of the British chanteuse's breakthrough album, 'Back to Black,' are up 368%, putting her at No. 2 on the charts this week. And after her two Grammy performances and two Grammy wins (Best Female R&B Performance and Best R&B Song), Alicia Keys is sitting pretty at No. 3 with her new CD, 'As I Am.' Keys is a name we're certain to hear called several times again in the 2009 Grammy nods, as the full album was not eligible this year.

It is so typical - these musicians - lets look at how they live their lives -(without morals or values - who really cares what they think about who should lead this nation - they are only entertainers. McCain/Romney 08
