Grammy Acts Will See Boost On Next Week's Billboard 200

ext week's Billboard 200 album chart will shine brightly with big gains courtesy of last Grammy Awards, which aired on Jan. 31.

Grammy winner and performer Lady Antebellum looks likely to remain on top of the tally for a second week with "Need You Now," and Grammy exposure will also help many other artists and albums on the list.

A number of albums that were high on the chart last week will see handsome increases, including the "2010 Grammy Nominees" compilation. It will naturally see a sizable jump, perhaps selling in the range of 90,000 to 100,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Feb. 6. Last week, it sold 45,000 and was No. 8.

Many artists parlay Grammy appearances and/or award victories into chart wins, including the Black Eyed Peas who move to No. 1 on Digital Songs and 4-2 on the Hot 100 with "Imma Be." The song moves 236,000 downloads (up 33%) to become the act's fifth No. 1 on the digital list, the most by a group in the chart's five year history. In addition, the Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" rebounds 16-9 on the Hot 100, the song's 22nd week in the top 10.

Lady Antebellum becomes the first country group to hit the top three of the Hot 100 since Lonestar reached No. 1 with "Amazed" in March of 2000 as "Need You Now" leaps 8-3 as the chart's Digital Gainer. With an increase of 90,000 downloads (up 74% to 212,000), the title moves into the runner-up slot on Digital Songs (8-2).

An astonishing Grammy performance by Pink lands her the Hot Shot Debut as "Glitter in the Air" arrives at No. 18 thanks to digital sales of 114,000, a gain of 1,143%.
