DOWNLOAD THIS: While some new releases appear at the top of the iTunes album leaderboard on this turnover Tuesday, what we see overall is the deepening impact of the Grammys. Winners Daft Punk, Kacey Musgraves, Imagine Dragons and Macklemore return to the album side, while Beyoncé and Lorde (both performers and the latter Song of the Year winner) continue their incredible runs. On the singles side, all but two of the Top 10 performed, won or both on Sunday night's telecast. Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" stays at #1 but still gains sales steam, while Pharrell's "Happy," John Legend's mega-ballad "All of Me," Daft Punk's revived smash "Get Lucky," the brand-new version of "Radioactive" performed on the show by Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar, Lorde's reinvigorated "Royals" and the Beyoncé-Jay Z duet "Drunk in Love," among others, were propelled to the top after Grammy night. You may notice that the lion's share of these acts and 50% of the Top 10 singles (Daft Punk, Pharrell, Legend, Beyoncé and Lea Michele, whose new one opens strong) belong to Rob Stringer's red-hot Columbia.
