Adele
Following her performance of 25 ballad "All I Ask" (marred, unfortunately by technical glitches), the set rises 2-1 on the Billboard 200 with 151,000 equivalent album unitsearned, up 25 percent, in the tracking week, according to Nielsen Music. "Ask" vaults by 526 percent to 46,000 downloads sold (up from 7,000 the prior week) and re-enters the Digital Songs chart at No. 18.
Justin Bieber
Fellow Grammy performer Bieber's Purpose climbs 5-2 on the Billboard 200 with 84,000 units, up 15 percent. He sang a medley of "Love Yourself" and "Where Are U Now" (with Diplo and Skrillex), the latter of which won the best dance recording Grammy.
The Weeknd
A performance and two Grammy Award wins help send Beauty Behind the Madness 12-6 on the Billboard 200 (51,000 units, up 38 percent). The Weeknd sang a medley of "Can't Feel My Face" and "In the Night" (the latter reimagined as an intimate ballad) on the telecast, and the songs surge by 131 percent (to 30,000 sold) and 61 percent (to 35,000), respectively.
Taylor Swift
Swift's 1989 returns to the Billboard 200's top 10, zooming 20-8 (43,000 units, up 91 percent). Swift opened the Grammy Awards with a performance of 1989 single "Out of the Woods," which sports an 80 percent increase to 27,000 sold. 1989 itself won two awards, including album of the year. (Swift has since moved on from "Woods"; "New Romantics" is the newly announced seventh radio single from the set.)
Kendrick Lamar
The most nominated act of the night (11 nods) took home five awards, including best rap album for To Pimp a Butterfly, igniting the set's 60-16 leap on the Billboard 200 (up 229 percent to 33,000 units). It reaches its best rank since the chart dated May 9, 2015. His theatrical medley performance included Butterfly's "Alright," winner of best rap song and best rap performance, sparking its 645 percent hike (to 14,000 sold) and No. 17 re-entry on Rap Digital Songs.
Ed Sheeran
Song of the year Grammy winner "Thinking Out Loud" re-enters Digital Songs at No. 24 with a 249 percent gain to 39,000. On the Billboard 200, parent album x bounds 44-27 (22,000 units, up 64 percent).
Meghan Trainor
Endearingly emotional during her acceptance speech, the best new artist honoree rises 43-38 on the Billboard 200 with her debut Title (18,000 units, up 29 percent). Trainor also performed during the night's star-studded Lionel Richie tribute, featuring a turn by Richie himself (keep reading).
Carrie Underwood
As noted above, Underwood's performance with Sam Hunt helps lead to a 53-41 push (16,000 units, up 46 percent) for her album Storyteller, while the song she spotlighted in her duet with her fellow country star, "Heartbeat," ascends 11-3 on Country Digital Songs (37,000, up 133 percent).
Tori Kelly
The best new artist nominee and Grammy performer (with James Bay) is surely smiling, as her Unbreakable Smile rises 102-44 on the Billboard 200 (15,000 units, up 116 percent). "Hollow" debuts on Digital Songs at No. 34 (29,000, up 310 percent).
