    With a Bullet: Today's Charts

    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.

    The Top Ten albums for the week ending February 17:
    1. 'Sleep Through the Static,' Jack Johnson (179,545 in 2nd week; 555,040 total)
    2. 'Back to Black,' Amy Winehouse (115,309 in 49th week; 1,649,181 total)
    3. 'As I Am,' Alicia Keys (108,840 in 14th week; 3,096,471 total)
    4. '2008 Grammy Nominees,' Various Artists (73,383 in 3rd week; 174,397 total)
    5. 'River: The Joni Letters,' Herbie Hancock (53,812 in 22nd week; 114,476 total)
    6. 'Juno' Soundtrack (53,211 in 7th week; 420,173 total)
    7. 'Taylor Swift,' Taylor Swift (52,072 in 69th week; 2,519,732 total)
    8. 'Detours,' Sheryl Crow (51,710 in 2nd week; 144,407 total)
    9. 'Growing Pains,' Mary J. Blige (48,563 in 9th week; 1,225,617 total)
    10. 'Step Up 2' Soundtrack (45,206 in 2nd week; 76,727 total)

    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
