On the heels of last night’s Academy Awards ceremony, Lady Gaga’s “Til It Happens To You” and Sam Smith’s “Writing’s On The Wall” have made substantial iTunes sales chart gains.<\/p>\n
As of 9:45AM ET — just under ten hours after the conclusion of the broadcast — Gaga’s Oscar-nominated song is up to #13 on the all-genre US sales chart. Smith’s Oscar-winning “Writing’s” is up to #14.<\/p>\n
In addition to the exposure they received in conjunction with the actual awards race, both songs were performed during the broadcast.<\/p>\n
The Weeknd’s “Earned It,” which was also nominated and performed, is up to #33. Considering the song had a full, multi-format radio run and has already sold 2.5 million copies — several multiples more than the other two — its sales gain is arguably more impressive.<\/p>\n
Following Dave Grohl’s rendition of the song in conjunction with the In Memoriam segment, The Beatles’ “Blackbird” is up to #170 on the chart. An additional version is sitting at #463.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56968,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[5894,1568,3368,105,1819,791,5080,5105],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
