MORE GRAMMY DOWNLOADS: Justin Timberlake and The Lumineers are bigtime post-Grammy winners at iTunes. JT holds the top spot on the album chart with pre-orders for his crazily anticipated The 20/20 Experience (due 3/19). His "Suit and Tie," meanwhile (which he rocked at the awards show, with guest Jay-Z), is #2 on the singles chart--just behind The Lumineers' "Hey Ho," which made a ton of new fans when they performed it on the Grammy telecast (and could sell north of 150k this week). In fact, the rest of the current iTunes Top 10s in both categories read like a recap of Grammy 2013 perfs, with the notable exception of Macklemore (now the #4 single). Mumford & Sons, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars (times two), fun (also twice) make up the remainder of the singles; in addition to Mumford (twice), The Lumineers, Bruno and fun., the 2013 Grammy Nominees album, The Black Keys and Alabama Shakes (the latter's Brittany Howard having gotten a nice spotlight in the Levon Helm tribute) occupy the top 10 albums.
