The Grammys might have had their biggest audience in six years, but they did sh*t for Canadian record sales.  Yes, some of the artists who performed on the show saw bumps in their numbers, but sales for the week were actually down 1% over last week.  And the industry is 7% behind where they were this week last year.

Pink saw the biggest gain, thanks largely to her Cirque du Soliel-style performance with her Fun House album spiking up 276%.  And even though she proved she can’t sing without real-time Auto-Tune, Taylor Swift’s sales when up 57%  Even Kings of Leon saw a nice bump of 31%.

In the US, the person to benefit most from the Grammy halo in sheer numbers was Lady GaGa with a 15% sales increase.  Meanwhile, in percentage terms, Pink was the winner, selling 235% more records.  See what a nude body stocking can do for a career?

Meanwhile, everyone is watching the situation over at EMI.  Will they get that much-needed injection of capital?
